Oh! The mighty potato! How I love thee. This mashed cauliflower recipe doesn't taste like mashed potatoes, but it's a delicious side to add to any meal.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender. Don’t boil them.
Purée the steamed cauliflower with an immersion blender, food processor, or blender to your desired creaminess.
Squeeze as much liquid out of the purée as possible using cheesecloth (best) or a clean dish towel. Don’t skip this step. It’s the key to a potato-like texture.
Return the purée to the bowl or food processor, add the coconut oil, garlic, and salt, and blend well.
Notes
I like my cauliflower mash to be super garlicky and I like it with a lot of fat. Adjust to your liking and you can add whatever toppings you like.
