I do add a teaspoon of arrowroot to thicken it up a bit for the final step when it is run through the food processor or mashed up. A sprinkle or two of guar gum can also be used instead if you feel you need a little thickening. Great side dish! - serves 3-4.

Fauxtatoes from Debbie Cusick

1 head cauliflower, chopped, cooked very soft (my note - this is about 11 min at a soft (not rolling) boil)
3 oz. cream cheese
1 tbsp. butter (note 2 - I use 2 T instead)
Salt and pepper to taste
Mash, whip with a mixer, or blend in food processor. Jamie adds…"I've sometimes used a bag of frozen cauliflower, but I think a head of fresh cauliflower gives much better texture. I simmer the cauliflower with a chopped clove of garlic to cover the mild "cabbagey" taste." (note 3 - I would also recommend adding some minced garlic when cooking the cauliflower - I use about 2 lg cloves worth)
This sounds delicious, I'll pass it on two my two Greek chefs, my wife and our daughter.
