Cauliflower "Mashed Potatoes"

I was skeptical the first time I tried these, but they make a great substitute for mashed potatoes.  You don't get the same thick heartiness that you find in homestyle mashed potatoes but it's more of a creamy style that is similar to the boxed version.

Ingredients
  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup cream
  • salt
Directions
  1. steam the cauliflower until it is tender (about 10 minutes)
  2. drain and coarsely mash the cauliflower
  3. scrape the cauliflower into a food processor
  4. add the butter and cream (add the cream slowly to ensure that you end up with the correct consistency.  The end product should be creamy but not runny.)
  5. process until smooth and serve immediately
