If you have been limiting your intake of carbohydrates for any reason, cauliflower mashed potatoes is probably not a new idea to you. Heck, you can even buy some in the grocery store now. The pre-made versions do often have added starch, usually rice, or they are made with dairy products.
While this option can work for someone just looking to limit carbs, they don’t work for those who have allergies or follow a paleo diet.
This cauliflower mashed potatoes recipe uses a bit of real potato to improve the texture but is still predominately cauliflower, keeping carbs low. Plus, it’s lactose-free. If you are sensitive to even ghee, you can substitute another fat like olive oil or coconut oil instead.
