Garlic Mashed Cauliflower

This is a replacement for potatoes. If you want low carb for whatever reason, this is for you. I can't tell it from real garlic mash potatoes, and really good ones at that. A good and very healthy side dish.Well maybe you should cut the butter a little to call it healthy.
