I was going to post a recipe called faux-tatoes. You may have heard of it. It’s the one where you cook cauliflower and mash it up like potatoes. It is much lower in fat, calories, carbs, etc than real potatoes and I’ve been told you can’t tell the difference between the faux-tatoes and real mashed potatoes.
Well, I made faux-tatoes recently and I have to say that whoever said that no one can tell the difference either never tasted real mashed potatoes before or they are outright lying. Since it’s not very nice to call someone a liar, I will assume the person has been chronically potato deprived their whole life. If you like cauliflower, you will like faux-tatoes because they TASTE LIKE CAULIFLOWER. Go figure.
So I totally switched gears and found the most decadent recipe I could to post today.
You’re welcome.

Deb and I love smashed cauliflower, or a mix of cauliflower and potatoes mashed, especially if you add garlic and butter. Of course, we like peanut butter and chocolate too.
I’m so glad you posted about the cauliflower experiemnt. I’ve always heard about those too and was skeptical. I’ll pass on those but these peanut butter chocolate delights….welll I’d better work off the beignets first! LOL
Those sound terrific! I’ll have to give them a try.

Carol, you are a hoot. I have not tried those South Beach taters, as I only like my cauliflower raw. And with a dip of some sort.
Thanks for sharing the other recipe which has NO cauliflower in it.
