Making an mmm mmm mock mashed potatoes masterpiece

It’s a shame that so many people think that livin’ la vida low-carb is all about depriving yourself of foods that you think you can’t live without. In my experience, that is simply not the case at all. When you make smarter choices about what you allow to go inside of your mouth, the result can be as equally if not MORE delicious than the original dish you started out with.

Take, for example, mashed potatoes. This is one recipe you CANNOT have when you are following a healthy low-carb lifestyle. Potatoes are not an integral part of any effective diet plan because of their negative impact on blood glucose and insulin levels. But who says you have to use potatoes to get that same taste and texture of mashed potatoes? My low-carb blogging buddy Kent Altena offered up his own Mashed Fauxtatoes video recipe using cauliflower instead of potatoes and I even shared my own mashed cauliflower recipe in late 2008 that would fool even the most ardent skeptic.

Today, our friends at Low-Carb Connoisseur serve up their own version of mock mashed potatoes with the use of the ever-popular cauliflower and even a variation using of all things TURNIPS! Yep, you read that right! Keep reading and try these low-carb alternatives to one of the all-time favorite comfort foods. ENJOY!
