I may have done it wrong, but it tasted nothing like mashed potatoes. :laugh:0

I love it - but it does not taste like mashed potatoes. Epicurious.com has recipes.0

I have made it, I liked it, just have to use seasoning. I really liked it and my husband had no idea it wasnt mashed potatoes0

Doesn't taste like mashed potatoes.....but it is really good !!!
I mix in some Parmesan cheese and my boys gobble it up!0 -
When i did Atkins i practically LIVED on mashed cauliflour!! I thought that if you imagined hard enough it tasted like slightly watery mashed potato! (i love cauli though!)0

It's yummy but no...not really. It's good though and worth trying!0

I use it to make shepherd's pie instead of potatoes. Works perfectly! A co-worked didn't believe and is now sold on it. Even President's Choice makes a Blue Menu shepherd's pie with cauliflower now!0

Try sprinkling in a little romano cheese for flavor - its delicious!0

I would love to know how to make it. I tried it once, the way you would make mashed potatoes but with cauliflower, and it was a fail. Would not mash, even in a blender. Tricks?0

I dont know if i did it wrong or not but i tryed to make it and it was so gross the texture was aweful and i like cauliflower!0

I think it is super tasty, filling, a great way to get veggies in while having a comfort-food-looking white lump on your plate but I don't think it tastes like mashed potatoes.0

Depends how you do it. Mine tastes a lot like mashed potatoes if I steam it, put it through a potato ricer (or just chop it up in a food processor) and add a little butter, pepper, & a smidge of garlic.
Cheesy version that is awesome: 1 head cauliflower, 1/2 tsp rosemary, 1/4 tsp garlic, 1/3 cup cottage cheese, 1/3 cup ricotta cheese, 1/3 cup gorgonzola.0 -
Thanks guys! Yeah, I didn't imagine it tasting anything like Potatoes, but I LOVE the warm, creamy texture of them, and wanted to have a substitute... I mean, if I can cut out calories by using cauliflower, then add a sprinkle of cheese and some chives and not feel as guilty, that would ROCK!0

Yes and I like it. I think it depends on the preparer as to whether it tastes like mashed potatoes or not. I first tried these at Rafferty's restaurant and couldn't tell the difference.
I've tried a couple different recipes from a recipe site online and they were all good, some better than others. But I think it is worth your time to try it. A great way to get children to eat cauliflower too!0 -

So good! That's all we eat in our house, no more potatoes here!
I boil my cauliflower in a little bit of water with a boullion cube and a touch of salt in the water. It gives it SOOO much flavour. I mash it with a touch of becel. My husband and kids fight over who gets the last spoonful0 -
I loved it...especially since i am a mashed potato freak....i made it with a mixer after boiling it tender then drained...and then i prepared it like my mashed potatoes...i used fat-free sourcream, garlic powder, poured some parkay butter spray in...and a little skim milk...salt & pepper to taste....its as close as u can get to the real thing...Just got to try it.... theres a mock cauliflower potato salad too thats real good!!0

I was just wondering if you have to cook it so much that its soft enough to mash you are going to loose a lot of the nutrients. Then if you add cheese you are just adding carbohydates, so what's the point. I think I'll eat my cauli al dente.0

I've made it a bunch of times. It is really good. Add I can't believe it's not butter spray, garlic salt and a little chili powder0
