    Not sure why you would cover your "healthy" mashed potatoes (cauliflower) with heavily processed cheese...kind of defeats the purpose. How about some fresh herbs & garlic instead. i've seen folks use cauliflower as a substitute for rice as well.

    Here's a good one without all the added fat...

    Agreed on the cheese part. It defeats the purpose if you add too much unhealthy cheese with it. ;) I love this substitution and that's coming from a Midwestern girl raised on meat and potatoes.

    One cup of cooked Japanese/Korean style rice. It tastes much nicer than boiled rice and goes with pretty much anything once you acquire a taste for it. It's also quite similar to mashed potato in terms of calories, but you won't need to add butter or milk to enjoy it~

    My cooking style is quite Asian though so I guess it won't suit everybody.

    I mash up fingerling potatoes with some salt and just a tablespoon of skim milk. It is still potatoes, and it comes out a little purple but I think it is not too bad calorie wise when you leave out the butter and whole milk.

    I dice equal parts potato, rutabaga, and parsnips. Boil 'em with a few cloves of garlic. Drain and mash together, add a touch of chicken stock and just a little butter, and black pepper. Delicious!
