After I made my Cheesy Mashed Cauliflower I knew that dill was next on my list. Dill is such a spring/summer flavor, especially in our family. It brings to mind baby potatoes and cream, which in turn led to me thinking hmmm, can I make a delicious mashed cauliflower instead of using potatoes?
Yes. Yes, I can, and yes I did, and yes it’s delicious!
There’s just something so darn right about tricking my family into eating their vegetables, I’m not gonna lie. It’s also so easy that I feel like I’m cheating, something this tasty shouldn’t be that easy, or good for you.

Ethel MacDonald says

That sounds really good too with the garlic and herb cream cheese!
Rhonda Blundell says
I am going to try this recipe. I made mashed cauliflower yesterday for Easter dinner as I made a ham and my sister-in-law brought scalped potatoes. I mashed the cauliflower with herb and garlic cream cheese but was really impressed.
The Kitchen Magpie says
Hope you enjoy it!

Mine are converted as well. however my daughter still loves everything as raw and crunchy as can be. She’ll eat this, but cooked carrots? Never!
Helen Richards says
I get that! Same boat – tricking my palate too 🙂
The Kitchen Magpie says
I”m Ukrainian, what can I say? Dill belongs in everything! Really though, it’s about tricking my palate into thinking it’s as good as potatoes. Not quite, but I was really happy with it as a carb substitution!
Christina Barr Clouse says
