Rick Better Fake Mashed Potatoes Reviews Date of last review 8 Thu October 26, 2006 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 100% of reviewers None indicated 9.4 Description: Ingredients: 1 head cauliflower 8 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon pepper -- up to 1 tablespoon How To Prepare: Cook 1 head of cauliflower until very soft. MASH all the water out of it through a screen mesh colander (If you skip this step you get cauliflower soup).. Add 1 stick butter and considerable pepper (min 1 teaspoon up to a tablespoon - careful it goes from perfect to HOT very fast). Whip with mixer or in food processor, re-heat if necessary. I have served this at parties and no one has known they were not real. Number of Servings: 10 Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known: 7 total recipe Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy Tammy Marie   Posts: 0 see this user's products

	Review Date: Mon April 26, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): very simular to the real thing Cons: still can taste the cauliflower I was very impressed at the result of these. I used 3/4 stick butter with 1 tblsp sour cream. I couldn't smash up the cauliflower completely, maybe I didn't cook it long enough? But it still resembles mashed potatoes, & I would eat it even if I wasn't on a low-carb diet! (Even though I usually am not fond of cauliflower).

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: This recipe was excellent on its own and I first made it exactly as the recipe says with the addition of a couple of tablespoons of sourcream. Then, I decided to make cheesy, garlic mashed "potatoes" and to this recipe I added some shredded sharp cheddar cheese and some minced garlic...YUMMY!! Next time I will try using some roasted garlic. Great recipe!!
	Review Date: Fri February 25, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): mashed taters consistency Cons: make sure they are whipped enough I have made this recipe or versions of it, like the ones mentioned here. EVERYONE LOVES IT! My husband didn't know they weren't real mashed taters till I kept asking him how he liked em. However theer was a time that I didn't whip the mashed cauliflower in the food processor, I tried to just mash em like regular taters...they still reminded me of cauliflower. The more whipped they are the more they will seem like the real deal.. These faux mashed taters are great, cannot recommend enough!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Potatoes!! Ya!! Cons: Waaaaay too much butter! OK, so I altered this to my WOE (not-too-high-in-fat-lowcarb-diet). I only added 1.5 tblspns of butter, but used some other reviewers suggestions and added 2 tblspns light sourcream, 3 cloves of roasted garlic and 1.5 tblspns heavy cream. I just couldnt deal with a whole stick of butter, but I'm sure it's great that way. I couldn't believe how much these actually looked, felt and tasted like real mashed potatoes! Yummo.
