Low fat and carbs but lots of flavor. Try this instead of mashed potatoes. Ingredients 1 Head cauliflower cut into florets 2 tablespoons garlic roasted 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 2 teaspoons hot sauce 1/4 cup Milk 1% as required 1/4 cup Potato flakes -optional 1 tablespoon Margarine - corn oil

Instructions
Roast garlic in 350 ovens for about 40 minutes, covered with foil.

Bring large pot of water to boiling. Add a dash of salt. Boil cauliflower for about 7-10 minutes or until completely cooked through but not mushy. Drain well. Alternatively you can steam the cauliflower until tender if you wish.

In food processor or blender, add drained cauliflower and remaining ingredients. Puree only until smooth adjusting consistancy with a bit of extra milk or potato flakes as needed. The potato flakes give it just enough of that "potato" flavor to make it nice without adding too many carbs or calories.

For a "gourmet" presentation try putting this into a pastry bag and piping it onto the plate through a star tip. Garnish with chopped chives, parsley, or a dash of paprika.
