Smashed Cauliflower Fauxtatoes - Low-Carb Potato Substitute
The most difficult part about following a low-carb lifestyle is probably holiday time without the mashed potatoes. Now, I won't insult you by telling you that my Smashed Cauliflower Fauxtatoes taste exactly like mashed potatoes, but I can promise you that the texture is pretty similar and the taste is out of this world. There is a pretty good chance however, that if you don't tell your guests that it's cauliflower, they will probably think it IS potatoes; and they will love it!

Break the cauliflower into florets and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. While cauliflower is steaming, sauté the onion in the butter. When the cauliflower and the onions are done, place everything in a large mixing bowl. Mash all the ingredients together and place them in a buttered 9? x 12? casserole or a large baking dish. Bake at 350° F for 30-45 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted and the casserole is heated through. Serve hot.
