Description

Mashed cauliflower is a substitute for potatoes in this simple and delicious low-carb side dish with heavy cream, Parmesan, butter, and cream cheese.

Ingredients

2 pounds cauliflower, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup reduced-fat cream cheese
1 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add cauliflower and reduce heat to medium. Cook cauliflower until very tender, about 10 minutes; drain, shaking the colander to remove as much water as possible.
2 Place cauliflower in a blender and pour in cream. Blend until smooth, then transfer mixture to a large pot over low heat.
3 Stir in Parmesan cheese, butter, cream cheese, and sea salt until well combined; cook and stir until hot, about 5 minutes.
