Cheddar-Horseradish Cauliflower Mash: For Those Inexplicable Potato-Haters

There is almost no limit to the things I will slather horseradish all over. But cauliflower mash definitely tops that list. Especially when you add bacon and cheese.

Let’s face it: there’s no substitute for potatoes, but this is a good option for anyone who’s craving mashed potatoes, but trying to limit carbs or keep it keto.

Cheddar-Horseradish Cauliflower Mash

A good option for those who don't do potatoes for some inexplicable reason, or just wanna switch up their typical mash.

Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
• 3 slices bacon
• 3/4 cup cream
• 4 tbsp butter
• 2-3 tbsp prepared horseradish
• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• couple pinches sea salt to taste
• 2 scallions sliced

Instructions

• Boil a little water in a large pot, just enough to cover the bottom, then put a steamer basket in the pot, fill it with the cauliflower florets and put on the lid. Steam for 4 minutes.
• In a large skillet, cook the bacon to your liking, then chop the bacon and set it aside, reserving the fat.
• In a food processor, process the steamed cauliflower until it's a mashed consistency, then with the machine running, pour in the cream through the feeder tube.
• Put mashed cauliflower into a serving bowl, stir in butter, a drizzle of the bacon fat, the horseradish, the cheese, then season to your liking with the salt. Top with scallions and bacon and serve.
