Full story
My second cooking show on how to make low carb comfort foods. Fauxtatoes are a great dish to have at Thanksgiving or for those who typically have to fight to get their veggies. A couple of my kids and my wife even make cameo appearances in this video. It’s the least I can do for all the taste testing I make them endure as I try new recipes. My non-low-carbing family members even like this recipe as an alternative to starchy mashed potatoes.
Try this recipe; I think it’ll be a hit with you as well!
Recipe:
1 Head Cauliflower
2.5 TBS Butter
1/3 cup Heavy Cream
1 Chicken Bouillon cube
1 tsp salt
White pepper to taste
Directions:
* Cook Cauliflower until fork tender. Drain well.
* Place cooked cauliflower and other ingredients (crush bouillon cube first) into the food processor. Run on high until consistency of mashed potatoes. You may need to scrape the sides of the bowl a couple times to prevent lumps.

These are great with steak.
Thanks Kent.
Thanks Kent.
The only thing I …
The only thing I can suggest is that too much water from the cauliflower is getting into the final mix. You might try paper towels and pressing the extra water out. Try the bullion cube too. It may soak up some of the water as well.
I make these a lot …
I make these a lot but mine seem to come out softer than yours. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I cook the cauliflower in the microwave for 10 minutes, put it in the food processor and only add salt, pepper and some cream cheese and they still don’t look as firm as yours.
Kids may be too …
Kids may be too young to do full-fledge ketogenic diet outside doctor care, but they are not too young to be taught the dangers of refined sugars and unlimited starches. Another great comment, thanks for watching!
Thanks for adding …
Thanks for adding your kids, I think involving them would help them better to learn what your doing. And really, kids are funny. Not to mention we single parents would love to have ways to include our kids. I think what your doing is great but will be more rewarding (and entertaining) if you include your family. I hope no one see’s this as a complaint, I just always worry about the rest of the family getting left behind when one member takes off on such an amazing journey. THANKS

They were great and I felt like I was cheating. lol I tried doing Atkins like 9 years ago. I was doing pretty good, but this was back before I had a computer. Now it seems much easier with people like yourself and others putting all these recipes out there.I feel like I have a better chance of staying on it. Thanks again
