Very Nearly Guilt-Free Nuked Mashed Potatoes
These mashed potatoes taste like the real deal, but without all the starchy calories. They key is to use real butter and sour cream. The water in the cauliflower precludes the need for milk or cream. For the mashed potatoes you remember from the 90's, add horseradish and/or roasted garlic to taste. Ingredients 1 lb Cauliflower (frozen works well) 1 medium potato (~4oz) 2 Tbsp Butter 2 Tbsp Sour Cream Salt to taste Equipment Microwaveable 2-qt dish with high sides Stick Blender or food processor Method Place the cauliflower in a 2-qt microwaveable dish and nuke on high for 10 minutes (or until tender). Dice the potato and nuke for about 4 minutes (or until tender) Add the potato, butter, sour cream and salt to the cauliflower and mash using the stick blender or plop it all in a food processor. Blend until smooth and fluffy. Serve to 4 hungry people immediately. Enjoy!
