So my family loves this paleo lifestyle-friendly mashed cauliflower with garlic recipe, but after a while the cauliflower got kind of expensive and boring, so I wanted to try something else, something innovative and outside the box. After a few false starts, I came up with the answer!

Just exchange the large head of cauliflower with 4-6 POTATOES! I can’t believe I never thought of subbing in potatoes for this before, but I’m so glad I did!

Easy Mashed Cauliflower with Garlic (substituting POTATOES) 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets (sub 4-6 POTATOES, depending on tuberosity) 1/4 cup almond milk 1 tbsp ghee Head of garlic Fresh chives, chopped Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peel away the outer layers of the garlic bulb, then cut off the very top of the head of garlic to expose the individual garlic cloves. Place in aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil, then seal the foil around the garlic. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cloves are soft. Allow garlic to cool, then squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of the skin.

2. Meanwhile, place a couple inches of water in a large pot. Once water is boiling, place steamer insert and then POTATOES into the pot and cover. Steam for 12-14 minutes, until completely tender. Drain and return POTATOES to pot.

3. Add roasted garlic, milk, ghee, and salt to the POTATOES. Using an immersion blender or food processor, combine ingredients until smooth. Top with chives and freshly ground pepper.
