Cauliflower Fauxtatoes Help Needed
I need hints on how to make yummy fauxtatoes!
Back in my pre-LC days, I was the world’s best mashed potatoes maker. No fake anything (real butter and lots of it), my mashed potatoes were bad for you no matter WHAT diet you were on.
Sadly, my one try at cauliflower fauxtatoes did not go so well. The texture was about right, and they certainly looked like mashed potatoes, but the taste was strongly cauliflower-y. Don’t get me wrong; I love cauliflower (and pretty much all veggies), but I was hoping for something a bit closer to potatoes. I know it won’t ever be exactly like good ol’ mashed potatoes, and that’s okay; I just want to get a bit closer.
IIRC, on the advice of someone at another site, when I cooked it I threw some leek (I HATE cleaning those things; I probably won’t do that again) and garlic in the water. I used fresh cauliflower.
Any advice?
