Healthy Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Prep Time: 10minutes minutes
Cook Time: 15minutes minutes
Total Time: 25minutes minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
3 pound cauliflower head cut into florets (about 2 pounds of florets)
¾ cup low-fat sour cream
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves peeled
Salt and pepper to taste
Handful of fresh chives snipped

Instructions
Add about an inch of water to a medium pot. Add cauliflower florets, cover, and turn heat to medium-high, bringing water to a gentle boil. Let florets steam for 12-17 minutes until fork tender and soft.
Drain all water from the pot, and add cauliflower to a blender, along with the olive oil, sour cream, garlic cloves, and salt and pepper to taste.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
Scoop “mashed potatoes” into a bowl to serve, stirring in snipped chives, or just garnishing with them.
Notes
Buying 2 pounds of cauliflower florets (as opposed to the whole head) will save you prep time!
Use 1/3 cup olive oil for thinner (less thick) cauliflower “mashed potatoes”.
You can use a food processor if you don’t have a blender.
