LOADED FAUX
MASHED POTATOES
This is the best mashed "potato" recipe I
have yet made. I f you are not happy
with the cauli mash recipes you have tried, this one is most likely to change
your mind. This is every bit as nice as
loaded mashed potatoes! You have to try it to believe me. I even like eating it cold out of the refrigerator. Now that tells you a lot doesn't it? ;)
6 cups
cauliflower florets (1.5 L)
3 strips bacon, cooked and
chopped
4 oz spreadable cream cheese,
(125 mL)
OR regular
1/3 cup
sour cream (75 mL)
2 tbsp mayonnaise (30 mL)
2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley,
(15 mL)
divided
1 tsp salt, OR to taste (5
mL)
1/4 tsp
white pepper (1 mL)
1 cup grated Gouda
divided, OR your FAVORITE cheese!
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
In large pot in boiling water, cook cauliflower
florets, about 10 minutes, or until soft.
In nonstick frying pan, over medium heat with lid on
pan, cook bacon. Turn off heat and flip
bacon. Place lid on pan and cook until
well done, but not very crisp (the contrast would be too much otherwise with
the soft mashed cauliflower). Cut bacon
into small pieces when cool.
In food processor, combine cream cheese, sour cream
and mayonnaise; process. Add cooked
cauliflower, 1 tbsp (15 mL) parsley, salt and white pepper. Process until smooth. Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) grated Gouda Gouda
Bake
25 minutes, or until hot and the Gouda
