Caulimash Potatoes

[umpa]

I love caulimash and prepare it everyway I made potatoes in the past.My latest thing is adding leftover cheeseball to the food processor.It changes the consistency and adds alot of flavor. Feta/cheddar cheeseball is also very good because its salty. Doug steamed the cauliflower last night with the outer leaves and we used them as scoops for the caulimash

Yum! Gotta add cauli to my grocery list for the morning so I can try this.

A little help/advice please.  I made cauli mash tonight for dinner.  Steamed the cauli, added a little butter, mayo, s & p, and used a hand blender.  It just seems more a puree because it was not exactly on the runny side but not exactly thick either.  I threw in a handful of grated cheese which helped a bit, but still seemed on the puree side.  By steaming does it seem to absorb more water perhaps?  Next time I make it is it worthwhile adding a little thickner maybe (hopefully not aiming for cauli jello like my gravy)?  Thanks.

Cauliflower seems to grab up that liquid Morgan.  I wonder if maybe you didn't get all of it out before adding it in??  I sometimes dump it out on a papper towel to soak it up or even put it in a salad spinner to be sure it is drained as much as possible.  I don't care for my cauli-mash to be runny

Hi Morgan, don't cook it as long and pat with paper towels prior to processing.

I let it cool before I put it in the food processor

I like to roast the cauliflower in the oven as opposed to steaming.  That helps a bunch with the dryer consistency.  Then I add a few cloves of roasted garlic while in the food processor...yum!
