ANOTHER MOCK MASHED POTATOES (MASHED CAULIFLOWER)-LOW CARB



Another Mock Mashed Potatoes (mashed Cauliflower)-low Carb image

I saw this recipe made on the new low carb cooking show on Food Network. I tried the recipe tonight and it is really so good - this is my spin on the recipe. This time, I omitted the rosemary and used raw minced garlic, but you may also use a few cloves of roasted garlic if you prefer. This version is different from many others as there is no sour cream and no mayonnaise. Real comfort without all that starch. (Note: Smart Balance is a lower calorie, cholesterol reducing butter substitute).
