Where I live, our winters are very snowy and cold and I crave comfort food. This mashed cauliflower satisfies all those cravings. By popular demand, this delicious recipe has been added to our family list of favorites. I used a garlic and herb blend goat cheese, but you can use any flavor combination that you wish.
If you want, mash the cauliflower with a potato masher and leave small chunks for smashed cauliflower instead of mashed for more texture.
