Cheesy Mashed Cauliflower

Okay, hold the phone. Yes…that does say “Cheesy Mashed Cauliflower,” but I would like to take a moment to say the following:

These are not going to taste exactly like potatoes. If someone has said that to you, either they lied….or they have a better recipe.

I do think these are quite tasty, but they remind me more of cheesy grits in texture than whipped potatoes. If nothing else, it provides an optical illusion of a starchy side!
