Potatoes are not low carb.

I would like to make my potato salad with mashed cauliflower but I'm not
getting enough of the moisture out of it after it is steamed when I make
creamed fauxtatoes. By the time I put mustard and vinegar and mayo in it ,
it would be soup. I have rolled it up in paper towels and squeezed,
repeatedly. Any suggestions?

make it italian style? with no mayo, use some olive oil, garlic, salt &
pepper, mint leaves and also put in italian green beans or string beans too.
mmmm.

i never ate the american stuff. potatos and mayo sounds only about as
unappealing as elbow macaroni w/mayo LOL

Easiest method.. microwave. Just cover them with some plastic wrap and
micro on high for about 5 minutes.

I roast them. Spread the flowerets out on a cookie sheet and drizzle with
olive oil. Then roast at 375 for maybe 40 minutes add or take a few. When
they get a bit browned they are roasted and ready. Let them cool and then
make the Fauxtato salad. Make your own mayonnaise as well to keep it even
more in line with the lowcarb.

I like the roasting idea! But for an alternative, use a potato ricer and
carefully squeeze out the water. Works, but always messy around here. :-)
Gonna try roasting!

I keep mine raw, chop them fine, and just toss them in an olive oil based
dressing. I don't have a special recipe so you'd have to google. Many
people like to call them "faux tatoes", but I see nothing wrong with their
existing name 😉

Good luck,

If you nuke them in a closed container for somewhere around 12 minutes
for a whole head (depending on size and the power of your unit) there's
no water to squeeze out. No mess. Cooks perfectly and steams in its own
juices. Might be a tablespoon or so of the juice purged from the cauli
in the container, but certainly not what one could call wet.

Works as well for broccoli and cabbage. Side benefit, no stinky kitchen.

I don't add any water to the cauliflower when I cook it. I nuke it covered,
all by itself, in the microwave. It's definitely not soggy or in need of
patting dry when it's done.

Actually, I LOVE cauliflower salad far more than I ever liked potato salad
(and I really liked potato salad - I still use the same recipe but
substitute cauliflower for potato)
