Sometimes we just need some comfort food, and mashed potatoes are the ultimate comfort food, right? But what if you are watching sugar intake? Remember potatoes are high in sugar — one moderately sized potato has as much sugar as a 1/4 cup of white sugar! A really tasty potato substitute is cooked, mashed cauliflower. This recipe is easy to make and, because it has a decent amount of fat in it, is very satisfying.
Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes (low carb)
(Serves 4)
Ingredients:
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp butter, or more to taste

In a pan fry bacon (or brown sausage) and chopped onions together until done. Cover and set aside.
Steam cauliflower until soft.
Mash cauliflower until smooth with a potato masher, or use potato ricer.
Add butter and Parmesan cheese along with onions and bacon (or sausage) mixture into mashed cauliflower.
Salt and pepper to taste.

Makes a great side dish!
