these were really good. I can taste the cauliflower, but not enough to make me go back to mashed potatoes. I will be making these again real soon. thanks.

I have made these quite alot. It's very good and tastes so much like mashed potatoes! I also add in a little paprika to give it a little color. I didn't add in the chives and it was still good! Wonderful side dish!

I can't even get over this...how delicious, nutritious, and EASY was this?? Nobody had a clue it was cauliflower until I told them, and at that point they were too busy shoveling it in to care. It sort of defeats the purpose of a low-cal dish to lick the pan clean, doesn't it LOL?? I have to admit I had butter at the ready to mix in to get that mashed potato-y taste, but I never had to use it. Great, great stuff. Made for Best of 2012 Tag, and it will be going into my cookbook for 2013.

Made for a nice dish to dinner. very enjoyable, though DS didn't particularrly care for it. I used chicken broth, and chives for the options. I enjoyed these personally, as it was a nice twist to mashed potatoes. made for Best 2012 Tag.

So much better than potatoes! Love how healthy these were without any butter or cream. I will make this again and again with different herbs and flavors, but the garlic and chives are a great combo! I first tried mashing by hand and they were still cauliflowery, but they came out perfectly in the food processor.
