Default Cauliflower mashed potatoes

a entire head of cauliflower and a medium potato isn't much carbs..but we
all have our tolerances.

you can still kill the sulfur taste with heavy cream and butter which is low
carb

roasting the cauli first brings out the sweeter taste.

oh btw when I want small cubed potato for scrambling with eggs I use the
white insides of broccoli stems cooked in half chicken broth and half beef
broth..everyone I have fed it to thinks its potato...same texture and taste
when done right....zero carb

Can't use potatoes: too high carb. But the rest seems
really doable. Thank you!
