Trying to get these 'mashed potatoes' over on the Big Guy is getting easier and easier, especially when you serve them next to Chicken-Fried Steak...
Take cube steaks, dip in egg, dip in finely crushed pork rinds, bake in a 400 degree oven, be disappointed that it's kind of soggy on the bottom, so make a mental note to pre-heat the pan you will be baking it in next time, and toss it in a lightly oiled, hot, porcelain-surface skillet in order to save it.
I used a packaged gravy mix--shut up--because I was afraid I would be juggling too many things at once, and screw something up, ruining everything! I have seen people make the gravy from mashed cauliflower, but since I was making my 'mashed potatoes' out of cauliflower, I thought it might be overkill.
Boil cauliflower, drain well, return to pan, toss in some butter and sour cream or even a dollop of cream cheese, garlic salt, and pepper. Mash, then mix with hand-held blender 'til smooth, then toss in oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
I loved it! It was no greasy spoon chicken-fried blue pate special in some dive diner, and it wasn't mom's to-die-for steak fingers with a Ritz cracker crust and homemade gravy, but it was damn tasty!!!
