Some people refer to this recipe as “Faux” or “Mock” Mashed Potatoes, but I am perfectly happy to call it cauliflower! Don’t be afraid of cruciferous veggies like cauliflower. They are delicious and good for you, with far fewer calories and carbs than a potato. Even the most finicky vegetable eater in the house loves this recipe.
