Loaded Cauliflower

Do you love mashed potato but hate Cauliflower? Do you love lots of flavour? Then this is the recipe for you! This recipe has the same colour and texture as mashed potato, but being paleo, potatoes aren't meant to be eaten. So instead, it is made with cauliflower and I tell you what! It's absolutely delicious. You won't even know it's cauliflower, just potato with lots of flavour.

- 453g cauliflower florets
- 118ml sour cream (guess it's not 100% paleo)
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (nope definitely not paleo)
- 2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper

1. Put the cauliflower into a microwave safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons water and cover with cling wrap. Microwave for 5-8 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside uncovered for 2 minutes.

2. Add the cauliflower to a food processor and process until fluffy. Add the butter and sour cream and process until it's the consistency of mashed potato. Add to a bowl. Add MOST of the chives, saving some for the top. Add 1/2 the cheddar. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Top with the remaining cheese, chives, and bacon. Put it back in the microwave to melt the cheese.
