Easy Creamy Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Mashed Cauliflower was never a selling point for me when it came to eating vegetables. I didn’t like the idea, and I didn’t think the taste was that great. But, I was missing out for a long time.

This recipe is super simple, and extremely tasty! It takes about 8 minutes to make, from start to finish, and is one of the creamiest, rich, and super flavorful side dishes. I love serving it whenever I have a nice steak (like this amazing reverse seared ribeye), or some stuffed pork chops.

The recipe calls for riced cauliflower, which I think everyone should have on hand in their fridge. I usually buy a head of cauliflower to last a week – I’ll pre-rice it in a food processor and store it in a plastic bag in the fridge. It makes it a lot less work when I want to use it, and it relives the stress once it’s all prepped out to use. You could optionally do a few heads at a time and freeze the pre-riced cauliflower for future use.
