(so yeah, you can eat a whole cup of these, and figure you’re only eating half a cup of “potato”…HELLZ YES!
I love mashed potatoes…LOVE ‘EM…but the points for them are a little daunting if I make them *really* tasty. So…tonight, out of sheer desperation, I made some sort-of “Fauxtatoes”…sort of. Most people mash up cauliflower, and I tasted that once, and was forever ruined…because it was DISGUSTING. So, here’s what I did:
4 yukon gold potatoes, equaling about 3 cups, chopped up (I don’t peel)
4 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole
2/3 of a goodly sized head of cauliflower
4 wedges of The Laughing Cow Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle cheese
1/4 cup FF chicken broth.
Salt
Pepper
Boil the chopped potatoes and garlic together until the potatoes are done. Drain. While this is happening, steam the cauliflower until it’s soft. Drain potatoes/garlic, and put the Laughing Cow in with potatoes/garlic and mash with hand masher a few times. Dump Cauliflower in on top, and mash some more. Put in chicken broth and give a couple more mashes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Eat ‘em up. This made about 4 cups, and I counted as 3 points per cup…figuring that the potatoes and cauliflower were pretty close to the same proportion…so counted the half cup of potato as 2, and the Laughing Cow as 1.
Oh my Lord…Chris raved, and I was simply amazed. SO GOOD!
