My recipe for keto mashed "potatoes" uses cauliflower... but before you close this post... stay with me a moment!
When you follow the steps I outline below and in the video, you'll find this version of creamy keto 'potatoes' is almost just like the real thing.
The best part?
It's simple and requires only a few ingredients.
Making Keto Mashed 'Potatoes'
You could make these keto mashed potatoes from a whole cauliflower if you wish, but to make things easier (we love easy!) we decided to start with riced cauliflower.
For this medium sized batch, you'll need two sixteen ounce packages of cauliflower riced cooked to package directions.
If you want your potatoes to be extra savory, we recommend pan frying them in a few tablespoons of avocado oil.
However, to make this incredibly easy-- you can also just microwave the cauliflower rice according to package directions.
Your other ingredients for these keto mashed 'potatoes' are cream cheese and salt!
Food Processor vs. Blender vs. Immersion Blender
You can use a food processor, blender or immersion blender to puree the riced cauliflower until smooth and creamy.
Having tried all three, we prefer using our food processor because it gets the most consistently creamy results and is less of a hassle to clean up than our blender.
