    As a picky eater I am very hesitant. Does it REALLY taste as good as mashed taters?? I need complete honesty here. Always looking at ways to get more veggies in my diet...although with boiling the crud out of cauliflower does it really matter???

    They taste like mashed potatoes that have garlic and cream of mushroom soup blended in.

    I'm Irish-- and I love potatoes-- and I like these better than mashed potatoes.

    So does my fiance.

    The secret is to drain them thoroughly, don't over mash them (i.e. food processor) and spice them generously.

    If you steam rather than boil you should preserve more of the vitamins.

    Try 'em. You'll like 'em!

    They were a hit! Thank you for sharing this recipe.

    I followed the recipe but pureed it in food processor to make it smoother, then placed it in a casserole dish and sprinkled some panko crumbs and shredded cheese on top. YUMMY!


    Cheers!
