spoonful of low carb mashed potatoes

Low Carb Mashed Potatoes

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 generous servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chopped cauliflower florets
  • 4 cups potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 2 large cloves garlic, peeled and quartered
  • 2 cups chicken broth (or water)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup Cottage cheese, blended smooth

 

Instructions

 

  1. Put cauliflower, potatoes, garlic, and liquid in the Instant Pot. Choose the Manual setting, for 10 minutes.
  2. Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender) blend the cottage cheese until the curds are blended smooth.
  3. Drain the excess broth from the potatoes, and put in a big bowl.
  4. Add the cottage cheese, butter, and salt to the potato mixture. Mash with a hand masher just to get the big chunks smoothed out.
  5. Use the hand blender to blend the potatoes until smooth and fluffy. Add a little milk or broth if it’s a little too dry or too thick. Adjust salt to taste, add pepper if desired.

Notes

  • Don't use much (if any) of the cauliflower stem. Just the florets for this recipe.
  • If you don't have an immersion blender, blend the cottage cheese in a regular blender or food processor.
