The secret to making the perfect "faux-tatoes" is to steam them only till they are medium soft (al dente like pasta). The steaming doesn't make the cauliflower soggy and the smell is also greatly minimized. DO NOT add milk or liquid of any kind as this will make them far too runny. I place mine in a food processor, with a little salt and 1 tbsp real butter. You can add a little low fat sour cream or grated fresh romano cheese or both. You will find that these modifications will make this dish a lot more satisfying. :) -
Sorry, but yuck. The cauliflower smell was strong and turned us off. Also, they were kind of watery, despite plenty of time to drain.

Why haven't I made these till now?! I'm so happy I tried this recipe. I didn't feel as stuffed as I would after eating mashed potatoes. I used regular butter and added some garlic powder. I'll be using this recipe to replace mashers from now on. Thanks for posting! -
I love love love mashed cauliflower! I make mine with reduced fat cream cheese, rather than butter. Also, I don't typically add milk, as it makes them runny. Try putting them in a casserole dish, topped with lf cheese and some bacon bits. Broil until cheese is bubbly. My kids adore twice baked faux potatoes!! -
Super good, easy quick and filling...i was never much of a mashed potato fan but i love these...i am a veggie girl so this is much more my liking...my In laws like that they are "South Beach"...I made them vegan too but that was my thing and I kept it to myself and no one was the wiser ---->made playing "I Recommend Tag"

I made this today as I'm on a low carb diet. I used a lovely orange cauliflower that I found at my local Sunflower Market. I replaced the I Can't believe its not butter with Earth Balance Margarine and used soy silk creamer in place of the low fat milk. I don't use dairy, so this was great. Thanks for the recipe, I will make it again.
