Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Faux Cauli-Mashed “Potatoes” Recipe
Potatoes are never CarbSmart, especially on a low-carb diet. Since before Dr. Atkins launched the low-carb movement in the 1970’s, potatoes were forbidden. But what do you do during the holidays or when you want the mouth-feel of traditional mashed potatoes? You substitute low-carb cauliflower for the high-carb potatoes in your side dishes.
Faux Cauli-Mashed “Potatoes” is the perfect low-carb potato substitute which you can serve for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any time of the year.
