Re: Faux Potatoes and Cauliflower smell

[Guest guest]

Here's two things I add to the faux mashed potatos...precooked mushrooms

and/or a slice of pepper cheese cut up...mix in with smashed cauliflower

(faux potatos) and nuke for two minutes. Very yummy.

I've also recently discovered smashed turnips -- they're surprisingly lowcarb

for a root veggie. Just slice them and steam them and when they're all soft

then throw in food processor with some butter, salt and pepepr. I made a

large batch (as I do with faux mashed potatos) and put it in a Tupperwear

dish and take out portions for individual meals. The appearance and texture

are similar to the faux mashed potatos made with cauliflower but the flavor

and smell are somewhat different. Bet these would be good with the mushrooms

and cheese too. I'll have to try it soon. Vicki

<< Regarding the faux potatoes... I have made them myself from cauliflower and

using the Keto " Ketato " mix. They taste pretty good, really... but the

issue I have with them is the way they smell. Honestly, that cauliflower

smell almost gags me. How does everyone else season them, have you found

any trick to overpowering the cauliflower smell? Thanks!

I've always made my " faux mashed potatos " with just steamed cauliflower,

butter, salt and pepper..sometimes add a little cream cheese, .never added

the Ketato mix. Why do you even need it? Maybe that's what smells? Isn't

it a soy product? Vicki

I made these and really liked them, but I had a hard time getting the

cauliflower mashed. I used a blender as I don't have a food processor and it

took 15 or 20 minutes and they were still a little chunky. They were totally

cooked and very soft, but they didn't mash up like potatoes. They were good

and I liked them, but I'm not much for cooking, so it's not something I'd

make very often. The smell didn't bother me, but then I have always eaten

and enjoyed cauliflower both cooked and raw. Roxanne

Hello Fijifamily@...,

In reference to your comment:

ð I used a blender as I don't have a food processor and it

There's a huge difference between the blender and the food processor... btw i

just recently got a food processor, only $39.99 at walmarts.... and omg i

don't knokw how i 've lived without it.... i used to buy chopped onions

frozen, cuz i hated chopping them, and before that i'd just never use

onions.... well i think that this food processor has already been paid for

just in the savings with the onions.... but BEWARE initially all stuff done

in the food processor turns to puree till you learn to do it less.

I just mash my califlower with a hand mashed potato masher, but I cook

the califlower a long time until it is very mushy.
