CHEESY SMASHED CAULIFLOWER
Tupelo Honey Café serves this instead of mashed potatoes. My Dad who says he is allergic to all vegetables, ate the cauliflower because he thought it was mashed potatoes. It was hilarious, to tell Dad that he had just eaten cauliflower, you should have seen the look on his face! He was hooked and asked me to get the recipe. The texture of this is a little chunky, a little funky, and really tasty. Source: Tupelo Honey Cafe's website http://www.tupelohoneycafe.com/cheesy-smashed-cauliflower
