The Best Keto Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes
Doesn’t the idea of cauliflower ‘mashed potatoes’ sound great, but the typical twenty step process sounds totally not worth it? Yea I’m right there with you.
For months now I’ve been using the frozen cauliflower mash because I admittedly am lazy when it comes to my weekly meal prep. I want it to be easy peasy!
On the other hand, ya’ll know I’m all about using fresh ingredients as much as possible, and after reading the back of the frozen cauliflower box well it’s not so fresh lol.

Mission accomplished! This slow cooker or instant pot, 5 step keto cauliflower mashed potatoes are so easy to make and of course delicious. You bet this will be a staple in my weekly meal prep and I hope yours too.
so grab your crock pot, slow cooker or instant pot and let’s make some cauliflower mash shall we?
How To Make Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes Keto Style
For this recipe you will need two heads of cauliflower, if you want to try a small batch first you can easily cut the recipe in half, but I made this with intentions of having enough to eat for the whole week, and since my husband eats extra I will probably even double it next week.
First, cut your cauliflower up, so you have just the florets and put them into your crockpot or instant pot along with 16 ounces of chicken broth.
Set your crock pot on high and cook for 3 hours Or 9 minutes on high in the instant pot
Once it’s ready you will want to drain out the chicken broth or else you’ll have cauliflower soup. No Bueno.
With your hand held mixer blend until your cauliflower is all mashed up.
Now you just have to add some flavor! Add in the butter, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper and mix it all up until well blended.
And there you have it! Easy right?! Give them a taste test and of course doctor them up to your liking.
If you want them to look extra pretty, you can sprinkle fresh parsley on top, but it’s totally not necessary.
If you are serving these for dinner or a family get-together, you can leave them in the slow cooker on keep warm until you are ready to serve.
Or if you are using them for your weekly meal prep, they keep really well in the fridge and actually taste even more flavorful the next day.
