These are so simple and delicious. I’m sorry that I rejected the idea of faux-tatoes years ago. There was a young man at my job and he and his wife were doing the Atkins Diet. He told me about how good the faux-tatoes were, but I couldn’t believe it. I thought to myself how I would NEVER give up mashed potatoes.
And now here we are in TWENTY-TEN. How things change.
Now that I am not eating potatoes, whipped cauliflower has become my new favorite comfort food.
Here’s how to make it.
2 small heads of cauliflower, broken into small pieces
Steam until tender. It is best to use a steamer basket
Put the cauliflower back into the pan and add in some butter or ghee, or your favorite healthy fat. Add salt and pepper and hit with a stick blender. The more you blend, the fluffier the cauliflower will get.
