I’m pretty much over classic mashed potatoes. Hold on now I said pretty much over not totally over them. I’m not anti-mashed potatoes I just can’t deal with the high carb and high calories especially since I always go in for a double serving of them. But instead of cutting mashed potatoes out of my diet completely I decided to make a healthier version of my favorite side dish.
Instead of using only potatoes I do a combination of low carb, low cal cauliflower and potatoes. It’s really a simple idea!

How great is that? Stick to this ratio and these Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes are perfect for even the pickiest eaters!
