This cauliflower mashed potatoes recipe is a delicious vegetable side dish! A low carb alternative to classic mashed potatoes, it's rich, smooth, and creamy. We love it with butter and chives on top.

Ingredients

1 large cauliflower, about 2 pounds 4 ounces, broken into large florets
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for serving
2 garlic cloves, grated
½ teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the cauliflower until knife-tender, about 10 minutes.
Drain and transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Add the Parmesan, sour cream, butter, garlic, salt, and several grinds of pepper and process until creamy, light, and smooth, stopping and scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula as necessary.
Season to taste and serve topped with more butter and chives.
