Cauliflower Loaded Mash


So the picture isn't the best, but i forgot to take one before it was served.

I've seen a few times on Pinterest about making a mash with cauliflower instead of potatoes. it seemed simple enough to make, steam the cauliflower, then put in food processor to get the right texture. We don't have a processor so i used this like mini type one we have, it mostly did the job, but makes me wonder if a real one would be better. The texture was alright, not as smooth as mashed potatoes, but it didn't feel like you were pretty much just eating steamed cauliflower.

After getting the texture done, i did add some butter at first, wasn't bad just felt like it was missing something because it did taste just like steamed cauliflower. then i had the idea to just make it a loaded mash and added cheese, sour cream, and turkey bacon bits. Took a taste test and still felt like something was missing, added some salt and then was like magic because that bit of salt just finished off the whole thing and tasted really good.

We still have a purple cauliflower that i'm going to try and make this again but instead of a loaded mash, probably just a basic garlic mash. That will be fun just because it will be purple lol.
