Why We Love Cauliflower for Mashed Potatoes
Even with a few additions, cauliflower is still much lower in carbs and calories than a potato.
How to Store Cauliflower Mash
Once prepared, the mash will keep nicely in your fridge for about 4 days. When storing cooked food always use an airtight container.
If you purchase a fresh head of cauliflower to make this recipe, it should keep in your fridge for about 4-6 days. Store in a container that lets in some air.
