Easy Keto Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes - Adding Romano Cheese

Whip up these easy and delicious keto faux mashed potatoes using cauliflower! Seriously, my family loves these so much, and you won’t even feel deprived of potatoes. This is the perfect keto-friendly solution if you miss mashed potatoes.

Easy Keto Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes – Ingredients and food processor

Easy ingredients & simple process.

It’s super convenient to pull some cauliflower out of the freezer and whip up a homemade side dish when needed! Boiling cauliflower in chicken broth is both a flavorful and fast way to cook them. In addition, the secret to perfect cauliflower mash is adding plenty of Romano or Parmesan cheese, which gives them a deeper and oh so delicious flavor.

Hip Tip: For best results, consider grating fresh Pecorino Romano cheese instead of Parmesan (it’s Collin’s favorite!).

Easy Keto Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes – Adding ingredients to the food processor

After boiling your cauliflower, drain it very well, and then transfer the cauliflower to a food processor. If you don’t have one, try a high-powered blender, or just mash by hand. Then just process (or mix) the cauliflower with cream cheese, Romano or Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. This couldn’t be more simple!

P.S. Don’t let that chicken broth go to waste. Use it to make a delicious gravy!

I love this simple recipe because it tastes delicious and doesn’t take much effort at all. The texture is whipped up cauliflower perfection. In fact, these faux mashed potatoes would be an excellent addition to the Thanksgiving table during the holidays or any time of the year for that matter!

Note from Collin:

My daughter is a HUGE mashed potato fan, and I was so excited when she literally devoured these cauliflower mashed potatoes and asked for more. When she asked for seconds, she called them mashed potatoes, so apparently, she could hardly tell a difference – and I think that’s due to the Pecorino Romano…  it’s the BEST!

    Just regular frozen califlower?

    • Lina D

      Yep! That’s what I use.

  2. Sarah

    Can a blender work instead of a food processor? I don’t own a food processor. TIA

    • Jennifer (Hip Sidekick)

      Yes, you can!

  3. Kelley D Long

    Can leftovers be frozen for a later meal?

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      I have never tried, but I think they’d do well!

      • Kelley D Long

        Thanks! I’ll give it a try! Love the cook once, eat many philosophy!

    I have made these “potatoes” many times since reading these tips on H2S. The broth makes a huge difference in flavor and the cheese adds a very rich, creamy backdrop. You can experiment a bit…sometimes I also add crumbled bacon on top. I have a carb addicted family and their holiday meals are carb on top of carb…but I’ll tell you what…once you start learning how to cook tasty low carb options, those actual potatoes seem a bit bland 😉 Hoping all keto eaters enjoy their holiday and stay healthy!

    • Angie (Hip2Keto Sidekick)

      Hi Brit! You’re so right! Sometimes you can sneak those keto options in undetected. Crumbled bacon sounds like an amazing addition. Hope you & your family have a Happy Thanksgiving ❤

    I’m sorry, I did not care for this recipe

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Darn! Thanks for the honest review, Renea. Sorry to hear you didn’t care for it.
