This was very good! As a previous poster commented, you probably won't be completely fooled into thinking this isn't cauliflower. That said, all of my kids ate it, so that says a lot. The fat from the butter and sour cream is a small price to pay to make the cauliflower taste good. I steamed fresh cauliflower and used a food processor, which helped in terms of achieving a good texture. I'll definitely make again ~ thanks for posting.

I have been doing the low carb thing on and off since 1999 so these 'fauxtatoes' are not new to me. This is a wonderful recipe! My family will not eat the real things anymore. Hints-use a 2 oz.chunk of cream cheese versus the sour cream to make them less watery, and an immersion blender works great for pureeing into glorious peaks of white. I especially like these served with Mille's Boston Market Meat Loaf-#28927. MMMMM good.

While I'm not on any type of diet, this still made a wonderful side dish!!! I tripled the recipe and glad I did because it disappeard. I seasoned it with salt, pepper and garlic powder. This is a different way to prepare cauliflower...we loved it! Thanks for sharing.
