Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Gather all ingredients.

Step 3

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add cauliflower and cook until tender, but not overly soft, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 4

Drain well and transfer cauliflower to a large bowl. Use a potato masher to mash cauliflower, leaving some chunks.
