Try this:

1 head of cauliflower
1/2 c greek yogurt
3Tbsp Butter
salt and pepper
1/4 c Milk

Boil cauliflower in water and milk til fork tender.  (This will keep the cauliflower white.)
Drain well and return to pot.  Add butter and greek yogurt.  Mash together.
Salt and Pepper to taste.

Honestly, cauliflower will never taste like potato.  However, in dishes like Shepherd's Pie where the mashed potato is one of many ingredients, most of the differences in flavor is masked.

I agree- mashed potatoes are potatoes- cauliflower will never taste like a mashed potatoe-  i say if you want mashed potatoes eat them in moderation if they don't upset you- otherwise you're gonna be disapointed... don't get me wrong i love cauliflower- but don't try to tell me you can make it taste like mashed potatoes!

I plan on trying this.  My husband is doing the presurgery diet with me, and the one thing he is missing is his side dish of potatoes.  I am going to try tonight, and hope it satisfies him :)

I love cauliflower andhave tried this many times. Heck I have even ordered it at Ruby Tuesdays. It tastes like cauliflower. Better to eat a little mashed potato or better yet mashed sweet potatos for the tater fix. make the mashed cauliflower for veggie.
