Keto Monterey Mashed Potatoes
These mashed cauliflower ‘potatoes’ are loaded with chopped bacon bites, shredded cheddar, chopped green onion, and a drizzle of warm barbecue butter sauce. This side dish is an excellent way to add fat to your meal.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and toss with the olive oil. Arrange across either a seasoned sheet tray or a tray lined with parchment paper. Bake the tray for 35-40 minutes, tossing the cauliflower halfway through.
Step 2
While the cauliflower is baking, cook the bacon to a crisp. Once the bacon has cooled, chop into small bits.
Step 3
When the cauliflower is done, transfer to a food processor. Pulse until blended to a firm mash with the salt, pepper, garlic clove, onion powder, heavy cream, and first amount of butter.
Step 4
Melt the second amount of butter in a small dish. Stir the barbecue sauce into the butter.
Step 5
Arrange each serving of mashed potato on their dish (each serving of mash is slightly over ⅓ cup). Drizzle the barbecue sauce over the potatoes, followed by ½ TB of shredded cheese and ¼ TB of green onion.
