KidneyGrub Verdict:
This does not taste exactly like mashed potatoes, but it is still very tasty. It would have been great with gravy as well. We used fresh cauliflower (because I had a head in my fridge), but frozen florets would have been way easier and lower in potassium. If I were to make this again, I would have drained off the liquid from the cauliflower before mashing it. I like my mashed potatoes a little thicker, and extra liquid seemed to separate from them. The flavor was great though, and with the bacon and chives seasoning this is a fantastic side dish. I loved that I could put them in the slow cooker or cook on the stove top. Depending on how busy I am in a day, having that option is very nice.
