Mock Mashed Potatoes

from www.aimeesadventures.com

3 Servings

  • 1 lb. frozen cauliflower
  • 2 T. light cream cheese
  • 2 T. light mayonnaise
  • 3 T. butter
  • 4 T. skim milk
  • 1/2 tsp. onion - I used onion powder
  • 1 dash salt and pepper
Steam or microwave the cauliflower until very soft. Remove any excess water by placing it on 2 paper towels and covering with 2 more paper towels and pressing. Place cauliflower in food processor with cream cheese, mayo, margarine, and onions.

Process until smooth, adding 1 T. milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency of mashed potatoes. Add salt and pepper.

My Review: I've had the cauliflower/mashed potato fake-out twice before. One time it was nasty, one time it was delicious. The delicious time was when a professional chef cooked it. This was actually pretty good. I guess the addition of butter, mayo and cream cheese makes a difference! But, let's be honest...there was NEVER a point where I was eating these and was actually tricked into thinking these were mashed potatoes.
