You can also add cottage cheese for protein and puree the cauliflower in the food processer to get the same faux mashed potatoes feel.superqt4u2nv said:

No Pudge is good, I can find it in Hannford ... They also carry a sweet-and-low sugar free low fat cake mix.
Here are two of my favorite 'South Beach Diet' recipes:
Fake Mashed 'Potatoes'
4 cups cauliflower florets
1 ounce butter flavored cooking spray
1 ounce fat free half and half
salt and pepper to taste
Steam or microwave cauliflower until soft. Puree in a food processor, add cooking spray and half & half to taste. Season with salt/pepper. Yields about 4 servings.
Candied Sweet Potatoes
2 Sweet Potatoes (white)
3 tbls butter or substitute of choice
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp nutmeg (may vary to taste)
1 tsp cinnamon (may vary to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Peel sweet potatoes. Slice into 'bite sized' pieces. Slowly melt butter in skillet. Mix brown sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon in a bowl. When the butter has melted completely thoroughly stir in the sweet potatoes and sugar mix. Turn heat to low and cover. Stir occassionally to prevent burning. Cook for about an hour. Stir in vanilla before serving. Yields about 4 servings.

Seems like fall is in the air with all the mock mashed potato recipes lately.....
In honor of said event - I roasted up a TON of veggies tonite.......eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, bell peppers & brussel sprouts......Just toss the cut up veggies (large slices or chunks, leave mushrooms whole) with some salt, pepper & olive oil & roast @ 375 for 35-45 minutes or until cooked down.....YUM!!
