Fauxtatoes, LCHF-style

Ingredients:

• 1 head cauliflower
• cream cheese (I used 6 oz for a small head of cauliflower, so a serving would emphasize fat, and minimize carbohydrate)
• butter (I used 4 T, the end of a block of unsalted Kerrygold)
• salt and pepper, to taste

 Optional add-ins or toppings:

• minced or crushed garlic
• roasted garlic
• minced onion
• sautéed onion
• bacon
• chives
• cheese
• different spices or spice blends to accompany the rest of your meal (e.g., curry powder, etc.)

Directions:

1. Remove stem and leaves of cauliflower, and break up the florets.
2. Steam it (stovetop, microwave, whatever) until it's fork tender, to your preference.  Try not to get water in it, as that makes the fauxtatoes soggy.
3. Mash it up with the cream cheese and butter, and incorporate the spices.

Very versatile!  Could be used to make fauxtato-pancakes.  Add whatever additions you'd normally add, some egg, and sprinkle some psyllium fiber or coconut flour on, to help it hold together.  If I try this, I'll update.
