MOCK MASHED POTATOES (MASHED CAULIFLOWER)

What you need for the mashed cauliflower:
1 medium head of cauliflower
1 tablespoon of cream cheese
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 clove minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

To make the mashed cauliflower:
1. Bring a large stock pot of water to a boil.
2. While your water is boiling, clean and cut up your cauliflower.

3. Pour into boiling water and let steam for 6-8 minutes until soft.
4. While cauliflower is cooking, mix together the remaining ingredients in a bowl and then transfer to a food processor.

5. Once cauliflower is cooked, drain well and pat dry with papertowels until excess water is removed. 

6. Pour about half of your cooked cauliflower into the food processor and pulse until combined. You may have to mix it up with a spoon, too, to incorporate the cheesy ingredients you added first. Once mixed, add the rest of the cauliflower and pulse until blended.

7. Top with fresh chives, parsley and or black pepper.

Yummy! Tastes just like mashed potatoes!

ENJOY!
