Let’s be honest mashed potatoes are amazing but they will set you way back if your trying to be low-carb & ketogenic. So to still have the masked potatoes we all love, and still stay on track to your goals, we can make them using Cauliflower! This will help avoid any rapid spikes in blood sugar that release the fat storage hormone insulin.

Directions
- Cut off cauliflower florets and put in large pot of boiling water. cover until tender around ten minutes. While this is cooking wash your steak and pat down, then salt it on both sides and set aside.
- Once cauliflower is done, remove from pot and place in a food processor or chop into very small pieces. Trader Joes also have precut options. Next, melt the butter in a microwave and add, then puree until the consistency is similar to mashed potatoes. Next add the grated cheese and the seasonings, sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Puree until well mixed, next chop the green onions or chives and set aside.

Let it sit for 2-4 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
