Cam on 2024-10-31 (5 stars): Excellent!!
Mickie on 2025-12-06 (5 stars): I made this as a low-carb option for Thanksgiving dinner this year, and can I just say….this recipe exceeded my expectations!! It was sooo delicious! I have been strict keto for 5 months know and this satisfies every creamy potato craving. I will keep this recipe on rotation, not just for special occasions. Even non-keto eaters enjoyed this dish!
Rachel on 2025-12-24 (5 stars): Wow, I’m a believer. I have been eating strict keto for a few weeks and was very tired of cauliflower rice. I made this today and followed the directions exactly…it very similar to real mashed potatoes in texture and the flavor is slightly tangy and delicious. It does not taste like cauliflower!
Doreen L Stuchinsky on 2026-05-08 (5 stars): Made this recipe for the first time tonight and we LOVED IT! I used 2 small heads of cauliflower and therefore had to increase the microwave time a bit but otherwise followed the instructions exactly. So darn good!! Thought we'd have enough leftovers for another nites dinner but nope! Just a small amount remains and I've already called dibs. Thx so much for this awesome recipe!
