I grew up eating mashed potatoes with lots of butter and sour cream. Oh, boy were they good. They made me happy….and now I know why! Blood sugar spike! The white mashed potatoes are just like eating candy.
Now that we have basically adopted a paleo lifestyle, I had to find a replacement for my potatoes. Well, I found one that is not only delicious but also nice to the old blood sugar. Cauliflower fauxtatoes to the rescue.

Hi Kate, those fauxtatoes look delicious! I was reminded of when my son was little, it was so hard to get him him to eat veggies so I would sneak cauliflower into the mashed potatoes! I’ll have to try this recipe 🙂
