Mad Creations Fully Loaded Cauliflower Bake recipe is basically me wanting to make a potato bake.
Growing up potato bake was always the naughty dish that might be there at a special barbecue or on the table at Christmas. Fighting with my older brothers for a spoonful was always a mission. You needed to be quick or you missed out.
Today I am obviously not eating potatoes, so you need a good substitute, and I think cauliflower does okay. Eating it like this takes out that cauliflower “smell” and it almost feels like eating potatoes, but not so carb laden.
Christine Ladewig has added her extra magic on this recipe too, and photographed it too. Thanks Christine.
