Mashed potatoes and gravy. I can’t remember a family holiday where that wasn’t one of the side dishes. And although I grew up hating potatoes (don’t judge), some forms of them have grown on me a bit as I’ve gotten older.
Ok, admittedly, I really only prefer french fries and hash browns, but still. They count as potatoes 😉 My whole family has been eating healthier so we can take care of our bodies better, and this recipe for garlic butter mashed cauliflower is a must-try for all of y’all that love garlic mashed potatoes!

Love cauliflower. Just never tried to mash it (like potatoes). Will give it a try!
It’s so delicious, and there’s not even a flavor difference!
I’m going to have to try this! I keep meaning to, and this recipe sounds delicious! Maybe if I don’t tell my husband, he won’t notice… 😉
Yes! don’t tell him and see what he says 😉
I’ve never never had cauliflower. This looks so good.
It’s so delicious, and healthy!
My body feels like it’s dying if I don’t have potatoes and rice. BUT, I absolutely love mashed cauliflower.
Haha, I don’t do white potatoes and I’m allergic to rice, so this is perfect for me! But it’s not a total replacement if you love the potatoes 😉
I wonder if I could get my kids to eat this. It is SO worth the try!
This sounds amazing!
Sounds so yummy!!
Thanks girl!
THis sounds crazy but I have never ate cauliflower before. However my husband and son love it, I will try this recipe for them.
I’ve been wanting to substitute cauliflower for potatoes, but haven’t tried it yet. This recipe sounds delicious!
