I have searched high and low and have never really been able to reproduce the perfect keto-friendly mashed potatoes.  Either the texture, the taste, or both were off.  It wasn’t until a few cooking experiments and reading many articles that I was able to perfect my Greek mashed potatoes (made from cauliflower).  

Many Greek dishes, from Souzoukakia (Tomato Meatballs), Lemonato Kreas (Lemon Braised Beef), to Kreas Kokinisto (Beef Ragout), all require a nice layer of mashed potatoes.  The gravy mixed with this cauliflower mash is out of this world. 

Start with a nice fresh head of cauliflower.

Try it with my Lemon Braised Filet Mignon served with its rich gravy over my velvety smooth cauliflower mash.

This is probably the closest thing to mashed potatoes that I have ever tried making. The secret is squeezing the water out of the cauliflower after it has steamed. Although painstaking, well worth it.
