You can’t go wrong with this delicious cauliflower mashed potatoes recipe. It’s perfect for working more veggies into your diet, cutting out starchy vegetables like potatoes and corn, and of course, it’s friendly for those of you on the 21 Day Fix plan as well as Weight Watchers.

So, come to a virtual Thanksgiving dinner with me–a healthier Thanksgiving dinner. I want you all to know that it’s still possible to feel satisfied while eating healthier, whether you’re on the 21 Day Fix or Weight Watchers (or just watching what you’re eating!).

I love making recipes that “hide” veggies from my kids and other picky eaters. This recipe is full of vegetables, but it just tastes like you are eating your favorite creamy mashed potatoes.

The Instant Pot makes this recipe quick and simple. It also means that you will have perfectly cooked cauliflower mashed potatoes. If the cauliflower isn’t cooked properly, it won’t get that creamy texture that you need in order to make this delicious side dish!

Instant Pot Instructions for Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes:

(regular instructions below)

1) Pour the chicken stock into the Instant Pot. Place a steaming basket at the bottom of the Instant Pot and add the chopped cauliflower on top of it.

2) Add the lid to Instant Pot and turn the pressure valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes using the manual function. When done, release the pressure using a quick release. See this chart for cook time adjustments at higher altitudes.

3) Transfer the cauliflower from the Instant Pot to a food processor or blender. Add the garlic salt, onion powder, pepper, Greek yogurt, and chives. At this point you can also add the melted ghee or pour the ghee over the top the mashed cauliflower later.

4) Blend the cauliflower until it is smooth. If the mashed cauliflower it too thick, you can thin it by mixing in a tbsp. or two of the chicken stock from the Instant Pot. Scoop the mashed cauliflower into a dish, drizzle with melted ghee, and garnish with more chives.

Stovetop Instructions:

1. Bring 1.5C water and .5C chicken broth to a simmer, then add cauliflower.

2. Cover the pan and turn heat to medium. Cook 12-15–we want the cauliflower to be super tender.

3. Follow instructions from Step 3-4 above :)

Serves 8.

21DF Container Count: Entire Recipe equals 8G, 2tsp, and just over 1/8R.

Per 1/2C serving = 1/2G. The tsp and R are negligible, which honestly means I don’t count those containers in this recipe.

WW Points: 1 Blue Plan Point/ 1 Green Plan Point/ 1 Purple Plan Point per serving.
