I loved the idea of filling the potato skin with mashed cauliflower... bet my husband would like this and never know!

 Marcy (Alberta) says:
I am about to prepare this recipe but also will put a twist on it by baking a potato cutting in half, scoop out potato (throw away) then stuff the potato with the cauliflower mixture, green onion and sprinkle with cheese and bake.

 Melissa (Florida) says:
Tasted just like mashed potatoes to me - I actually added some almond milk instead of skim. Some garlic salt, minced onions and then a clove of garlic. Then I topped it off with some shredded cheddar cheese and nuked it - DEELISH!!!

Love all the tweaks to the recipe. I'm trying to eat under 1200 calories per day and I'm craving those carbs. Going to the store now and have high hopes this will be a satisfying side for the grilled chicken and fish meals. Thanks!

Great dish. I did 1 cauliflower head (steamed and mashed), then 1 pint of fat free sour cream (270 calories per pint), chopped green and red peppers (1 each), a little carton of those fresh mushrooms, 8 oz. reduced fat shredded mozzarella (560 calories per 8 oz.), and a bunch of pepper...then baked for 30 minutes at 400°F.

Excellent, hardy, and unless mushrooms and peppers have a ton of calories... you're around 200-225 calories for a HUGE helping (1/4 of the rectangular Pyrex dish).

 Patti B. (Colorado) says:
Very good... seems to me, the word "Potatoes" is the word to put in quotes, not "Mashed". After all, they are mashed, but aren't potatoes!

 Rose (Mississippi) says:
I used fat free cream cheese and it tasted great and it's still a healthy alternative to mashed potatoes.

 Ima Troll (Texas) says:
Ok. Though this recipe is good, I don't see any reason the word mashed has to be in quotations. We get it.. They're mashed. Or are they mock mashed? How can you mock mash something? Can they not be mashed if they are not potatoes?

 Cathymack (North Carolina) says:
I added fresh chopped garlic and olive oil. Mashed and never put in the blender

 Amy R (Georgia) says:
A healthy alternative to all of the cream and cheddar cheese that everyone is adding is cottage cheese. Throw in a little onion for a FANTASTIC and healthy side dish!

 Jon D (Netherlands) says:
I don't get all those comments about people adding cream cheese or butter to what's supposed to be a HEALTHY alternative to mashed potatoes. Clearly a lengthy conversation with their doctors (or nutritionists) is in order.

 Mike S. (Texas) replies:
Jon, So you think Margarine etc is better for you than butter huh? LMAO... you are falling for what made everyone fat in the first place. I recommend reading the primal blueprint and begin to understand why this country is so fat, has heart disease etc.

 Sherree (Tennessee) replies:
Jon in the Netherlands and all the other health nuts. Give me a break. Everything in moderation. A little cream cheese and whole milk is not going to hurt anyone. I really do not know how are great grandparents lived. They supplier their own cream, milk, meat. They ate eggs and they seemed to live just fine.

 Paul Feakins (Virginia) says:
My wife did not want to eat ity because she hates cauliflower. After she tried it, she said she preferred this to mashed potatoes, a former favorite.

I used non fat Greek yogurt, low fat cream cheese, onion, garlic and parmesean cheese. Being a diabetic, this is a big find for me.

 Jenni (Missouri) says:
In addition to seasonings for cauliflower mashed potatoes, I add chopped green or red pepper, various seasonings from my cabinet as well as low fat sour cream or cream cheese (I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, so the more seasoning, the better). Once it's all mashed together, I put it in a casserole dish, sprinkle low fat shredded cheddar cheese on top and bake in a 350°F oven until cheese is bubbly. I guess you can call it a "twice baked potato!"

 Coley2123 (Pennsylvania) says:
Added one baking potato for the skeptics in my house (so they'd see the skins), garlic, sauteed onion and bacon cheddar cheese (you can use bacon bits cheddar if you don't have it) actually passed it off as potatoes! Will make again- oh used greek yogurt, not milk.
