Have you or any of your readers tried to freeze and reheat these potatoes before? Thanks for a good recipe! Ok, so roasting individual garlic cloves — you leave them in their skins, but drizzled in oil, or you peel them, drizzle and then cook?

Double win! Thanks for sharing this tasty, easy twofer! This is my FAVORITE recipe. My go-to for the nights my boyfriend brings home a rotisserie chicken after work.

What is your opinion on trying these with sweet potatoes instead?? We love sweet potato mashed potatoes too and am curious to see if you think cauliflower would put nicely with them. How delicious! Thank you for a wonderful recipe. Just the potatoes and cauliflower created a symphony of perfectly balanced mash!

Roasted garlic added a comforting depth. Will make this over and over again 🙂. Thank you so much for this yummy recipe. No one knew it was cauliflower until I told them. I used the left overs to make Shepard Pie and that meal was so light but filling.

Thank you for the great recipe. NB that if you squeeze them out, you need to add back some liquid such as milk to achieve the smooth consistency pictured. Okay, so these were amazing! Thank you so much. I used parmesan bc I was serving with Beef Bourguignon.

Such a good recipe! Will definitely make many more times! I only used one head of fresh cauliflower bc it is just me. For a family you will most definitely need two heads. I recommend. Would Greek yogurt be an acceptable substitute for the sour cream if I included cheese, garlic, salt and pepper for seasoning?

You can warm to desired heat on the stovetop as well. They are SO fluffy and taste like the real thing. I have already sent this recipe to all my friends! Thanks so much! It would probably work fine, though the texture may be an issue.

Sometimes cauliflower rice is made with more stalk than floret. Wonderful recipe. Made a half measure to mix it with regular mashed potatoes.

If any of you are trying this make sure not to add too much sour cream or milk even if you use the kitchen towel as you risk making it too moist. Enjoy and thank you for sharing this recipe. I have always loved garlic mashed potatoes, so I gave it a try.

I wanted to make a faux steak and mashed dinner so sliced large portabello mushrooms inch to inch and a half and brushed them with a marinade made with soy, pureed garlic, a little balsamic, wine, and olive oil and browned them well.

Actually made me forget steak and potatoes. Hubby and I both loved it. I made this thinking it would be a waste! I was raised not to have lumps in my mashed potatoes so they were creamy and smooth. I did add a splash of heavy whipping cream. My husband and I definitely loved them!

They were awesome! I think if you stick to the towel drying method you will have a good outcome and be careful when adding anything liquid. I made quite a bit because my large head of cauliflower was threatening to blacken.

Refrigerating and reheating in the microwave was a success. I did not notice any cauliflower smell but enjoyed the dish as much as the day before. Thanks for impressing the need for drying with a towel it works! This might convince me to try mashed cauliflower.

My husband is suuuper skeptical of cauliflower…wonder if I could get him to eat it? A chef in Jackson, MS used to suggest adding a small amount of mashed potato flakes if it was too watery and to improve the flavor. If you try it, please share here as well. I finally broke down and make cauliflower mash!

I normally like cauliflower but was a bit skeptical of substituting them for mashed potatoes. Whether I boiled them too long, blended them too long, the consistency was just too creamy for me.

The taste was good, but they were very creamy… because of this I did however come across a new easy and healthy recipe!!! To my surprise it worked. The mash mixed with the pasta and made for a great lunch the next day!! Cant wait to try out my newfound sauce with chicken: Thanks for the recipe!!

My mother used to make a wonderful cauliflower dish by steaming the cauliflower, then placing it in a butter casserole and sprinkling with buttered breadcrumbs melt butter and add breadcrumbs until it comes together nicely — not too wet, but not too dry either.

Bake and serve. You KNOW how kids dread having cauliflower for dinner! Hi Deena, this is such a nice comment, thank you! The cauliflower recipe your mom made sounds really nice! My mother used to make cauliflower the same way. I just made it for myself tonight! All the raw taste is gone.

Paired with browned butter breadcrumbs that also get salted, and the dish gets into wow territory for me. Comfort food. Though browned butter and salt would probably make a shoe taste good. Not sure how much salt I use. Hey, and save yourself the time of making florets first.

I just rip off the big leaves, and plop my cauliflower head whole, stem side down, into my pressure cooker. Then I pull it out of the pot by the steam rack handles and roll the head onto the serving dish so that its stem side is up. I go brown up some butter with the breadcrumbs, salt everything well, pour the butter mixture all over the cauliflower, and go to town on it.

My Other Half hates overcooked vegetables, but he does admit the flavors are nice in this dish. Your recipe, Joanne, gives me ideas. Maybe squeezing out the water and pureeing the cauliflower will make all the difference. The wheels in my head are turning.

Time to go buy more cauliflower. Hi Sylvia, thanks for sharing! I love hearing about your creativity, and you share some great tips.

I think I can only fit one head of cauliflower in my pressure cooker unless I cut it up. Do you have the larger one? Need to buys some and make. The cauliflower mashed potatoes look very healthy! We love mashed potatoes but this seems like a perfect alternative! It looks exactly the same — the texture is just different.

These are the best version of cauliflower mashed potatoes that I have ever tasted!! Great tips and video, thank you for sharing!!

I made a version of this recipe for the holidays. It was interesting because everyone just assumed they were eating mashed potatoes.

No one suspected there was cauliflower in the mix. Just stumbled across your website and loving it. I love this cauliflower purée recipe you have. If you want another cracking cauliflower dsh to try r serve up to guests, take a look at this:.

Okay, I just have to laugh: my cousin walked in the door yesterday with a head of cauliflower and told me that my grandma had told her that I wanted a cauliflower. I had asked no such thing. Then I realized that she follows your blog as well and had probably seen this recipe and just assumed that I had wanted to make it.

I have also been trying to figure out good ways to eat cauliflowers, and I will certainly have to try mashed potatoes! I like to stir fry cooked cauliflower with olive oil, garlic, chili pepper, and lots of cilantro, salt and pepper.

Also, I like to do fritters with cauli, with batter seasoned with oyster sauce. Quite tasty! I look forward to your next recipe, as always!

Hi Sanae, oh cool, where in Japan? I have only been to Tokyo but I was there for a few weeks. I absolutely love the ways in which you cook cauliflower. Hello Joanne!

I think you landed there first when you came to Tokyo. I hope you enjoyed your stay and liked the food, too! I hate cauliflower, raw or cooked any way! Please tell me that these taste like mashed potatoes so I can make them for my DH who is diabetic and really misses potatoes!

But maybe worth a try? They look 1 million percent like REAL potatoes! I like your thinking on these! Hey pretty lady! Haha, I know right? Call me crazy but I like to cook steam a big head of cauliflower and just eat it through the week.

I would love to try it one day. That looks really luscious. I love cauliflower and broccoli smothered in cheese sauce.

I sometimes hide it in homemade mac-n-cheese. But, On the healthier side, I just steam it and add salt and butter. That actually sounds really wonderful!

I am a low-carber from way-back and this is just one of the many wonderful things you can do with cauliflower. Easy too. I love cauliflower! Now if it were only less stinky to cook! The rice thing sounds really neat too.

Thanks for sharing! Does that make me weird? I make these with Greek yogurt in place of butter to make them even healthier. They taste great I swear! We do all kinds of fun things with it although, I have to say, roasting is our favorite.

Roasting gives such a great flavor! Love this! Happy Friday! LOVE this recipe. It brings out the nuttiness of this not-so -sexy veg with only small additions of fat to add creaminess.

I may switch my plan for roasting to blending my crucifer tonite! Thanks Liz! Yummy recipe. I make this as well but slightly different. I will add chicken or vegetable stock and purée then add the zest of a lemon with some salt and pepper.

This was excllent!!!!

Hope you enjoy it too! Love this cauliflower mash — looks delicious!! Perfect way to sneak in some added nutrition for the whole family 🙂.

Hi, Phoebe! Thanks so much for passing by! And with potatoes and ALL THE CHEESE thrown into the mix too?! I am obsessed and pretty much drooling all over the place. This is going on the menu and I may or may not be inclined to share.

Pass me the whole bowl! Helen, this looks so so good, even at 10 in the morning! I have got to try this on my family asap — adding cauliflower to the grocery list!

I was amazed at how lovely and smooth this mash was, too! The trick is definitely to still include a bit of potato. I LOVE the looks of your cauliflower mash, Helen! YES to sneaking in some wonderfully roasted cauliflower into this potata mash!

And I am loving the thyme in there too — Lightened up and veggie packed goodness — who needs a plate — eh? What a great idea to use roasted cauliflowers. So healthy and delicious 🙂.

Roasted vegetables are the best and that is a great idea to roast the cauliflower before mashing it! I am totally going to try that next time 🙂. The key is definitely to mix in a bit of mashed potato as well as the cauliflower, Izzy. Give that a try next time and let me know how it goes!
