One of the things I miss on TF is mashed potatoes so I thought I would have a go at what is known of in Low Carb Land as fauxtatoes. There seems to be a number of versions to be found by googling, some use sour cream, some use cream, some use cheese, some use cream cheese, some use butter and some use a combo of the above.
I don’t know how successful the results would be using the allowed ricotta or cottage cheese but all I had on hand was Philly Light so I used that.
I used a whole cauli (smallish size), cut into florets and steamed till just tender. Then I tossed it into the food processor with a small clove of roasted garlic (optional) and a level tablespoon of Philly Light and processed till smooth.
Seriously, it looks like mash potato, has the consistency of mash potato and strangely tastes quite similar.
Once I teamed it up with my bbq’ed porterhouse and fried onions (oil spray only) and I thought it was mashed potatoes...it was so good.
Please note that Philly cheese is not allowed but I only used a level tablespoon (40 cals/ 0 carbs) and I will get 4 good serves out of this so this works out to 10 cals a serve.
Next time I make it I will go a bit easier on the garlic and seeing as how we are allowed to have a teaspoon of butter on our veg I will trade the philly for butter and see how that goes.
Now my mind is wandering towards a TF friendly Shepherds Pie or TF friendly Tuna Patties

| Hi Ava, That fake mash sounds great. I think if we tried the cottage or ricotta, it might have the same result. I love cauliflower, and I blend it up in a lot of my soups, it thickens it heaps. I might have a go at this tomorrow. As cauliflowers can get quite expensive during the year. Now that they are selling cheaply, I buy a few and freeze them in portions. Thanks for the ideas.

Sounds good, I'll have to try it. I have tried the cauli rice that has been posted on a previous thread and it is good also. Actually I have had it with beef curry and it is delicious and great for winter. An easy way of getting your vegies. Thanks for the tip.

OMG!!! This so yummy, used a small amount of the Leggo Stir through Ricotta and spinach sauce to give it a creamy consistency. I cant stand cauliflower, this tasted nothing like it. Was just like mashed potatoes with a slight herby taste.

Well I tried making salmon patties and they kind of bombed. Now the flavour thing was fabbo, they tasted just like I'd had them pre TF but I could not get them to form into patties. I still ate it but it was salmon splatties.
I know we can't use flour to bind them together so I shall wait for your recipe to be posted and then have another go.
