Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower (medium head)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Sour cream
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 ounce Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into small florets and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until very tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the cauliflower in a colander and pat the florets dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a food processor, add the drained cauliflower, butter, sour cream, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the food processor until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape the sides with a spatula as needed.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Transfer the Faux Tatoes to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chopped chives, if desired.
Serve hot as a substitute for mashed potatoes with your favorite main course.
