4. Healthy Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Think this recipe belongs within the "potato" category? Smooth and buttery, it's going to look (and taste) a bit like everyone's favorite entremets, but this bowl contains no spuds or dairy. Instead, before cooked, cauliflower is whipped into submission with vegetable oil and garlic.
