In the interest of lowering our carb intake we've stopped having mashed potato and baked potato, but sometimes you just need to have something to create a well in to fill up with gravy, this is the answer.
Very easy and quite adaptable, I'll put some mix in's after basic recipe.
1 head cauliflower. Cleaned of leaves and broken into florets.
Butter
salt
pepper
Don't boil them, they must be steamed otherwise they will be too wet for the consistancy you are looking for. Every cook has their own way of steaming things (microwave, steamer insert, bamboo steamer etc) so just steam the florets until a knife goes in easily.
Toss the florets, knob of butter and salt and pepper into food processor. Whir until mashie consistency. Voila!
Some mix ins:
Roasted garlic
Brie
Parmesan
Boursin
cream cheese
cheddar
goat cheese (chevre)
minced chive
