Skinny Mashed Cauliflower 1/4 The Calories Of Potatoes

Did you know 1 serving of cauliflower only has 28 calories compared to 134 calories in mashed potatoes. These are so tasty, a great substitute for mashed potatoes. L.J. and I tried these out on Wednesday night while the other kids where at friends houses and he couldn't even tell the difference! There is a slight texture difference and the cauliflower has a slightly sweeter taste then potatoes but by the time it was fully loaded it served the prefect accompaniment to my fried pork chops and kale! Move on over potatoes I have found a replacement for you!




I was featured at I am addicted to recipes !

I used 1 1/2 heads of cauliflower. Adjust amount as needed dependent on how many people you are serving.

Place in a large saucepan with 1 cup water. Cover, bring to a boil and cook until fork tender.

Drain Cauliflower well and allow to sit for 4 minutes after draining to release excess moisture.

Add 3 tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and 3 tablespoons greek yogurt.

Mash with a potato masher until desired consistency is reached.

Add 1/2 cup chopped green onions and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.

Mix well.

Enjoy!
