Recipe Directions
- 1. Place all mashed potato ingredients into a food processor.
- 2. Process until creamy and smooth, similar in texture to the attached pictures. (Although you may be tempted to do so, do not add any additional liquid other than the 2 tablespoons of water. Also, if it seems difficult to process at the beginning, you may need to stop and scrape the sides a few times to help get it started.)
- 3. Enjoy your raw mashed potatoes!
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian A dollop of raw mashed "potatoes" on your plate turns an everyday meal into a festive feast! And, yes, that's cauliflower masquerading as potatoes since eating raw potatoes is a no-no. :)
This is a simple cauliflower-based mashed potato recipe that adds a nice heartiness to a fresh meal.
Use these raw mashed 'taters as part of a holiday feast or just treat yourself with a nice hearty serving of mashed potatoes for a fun weeknight dinner. I recently enjoyed these mashed cauliflower-based "potatoes" with a large green salad and traditional style corn (just chop some raw corn off a cob and you've got a side-serving of corn)--served all on one plate I felt like I was at Grandma's -- raw style of course!

I just made these and it is absolutely delicious. I'm a garlic person so I added more garlic but it's so delicious. A new favorite. Thanks!!!

My kids didn't like the garlic taste but I loved this recipe. I made a lot just wondering how long this will keep in the fridge?

Raw mashed potatoes recipe
Ok, so I was very skeptical because I tried making raw cauliflower mash potatoes before using a different recipie and it was disgusting, not even palatable and I threw the whole thing away. It kinda gave me a dislike for cauliflower. Then I read some of the comments here...but I was brave! I tried it and it was............really good! I used garlic powder instead of garlic but I ate it with cucumber kimchi which has raw garlic in it and I really enjoyed the dish.

Raw mashed potatoes recipe
I did not expect it to taste so good! My 14 month old enjoyed it too -- something he ate other than hummus! :)

Hi Bailey! Yes, I can see a 14mo loving the easy-to-eat smooth texture. I'm glad it was a hit in your house with your little one :)

Raw mashed potatoes recipe
If you blend/process it long enough, it is fairly similar to the texture grainy mashed potatoes. I liked the hint of garlic. :)
Question: have you ever tried using macadamia nuts instead of cashews on this recipe? I hear macadamia nuts are supposed to be very buttery like. They are pricey so I didn't want to experiment with them. LOL I'm curious if it will make them taste kinda buttery.

I haven't tried this recipe with macadamia nuts instead of cashews, but I think the results would be pretty similar.
I think adding an extra dollop of coconut oil will help with the buttery factor :)

Hello!
I've made raw mashed cauliflower before and basically was this exact recipe but without the cashews. What would you say adding cashews does to the recipe?

Hi Devin, adding cashews makes it more creamy, kinda like adding butter to SAD mashed potatoes! :)

My contribution to the traditional Thanksgiving meal this year was raw mashed "rootatoes" using Jicama and Turnips. Turned out yummy. Could have been a bit creamier if I had a food processor handy. Blender had to do.

Wow never thought to add cashews to the potatoes. I like to add some garlic and top with chives. Can't wait to try with cashews now. Thanks for the great recipes! Keep up the good work.

Raw mashed potatoes recipe
WholeFoods sold out of Cashews due to thanksgiving rush. What can I use instead? Oats?

Hi Anbessa, macadamia nuts would be the only other sub.

Tried this one tonight but the garlic ruined it for me :( too overpowering!! However, not deterred as the texture was great so I will give it another go very soon without the garlic. It wasn't wasted though as my labrador and chicken thought it was fantastic....lol

Oh dear. That's a shame, but at least your lab and chicken enjoyed! Def. leave out the garlic if it's too strong.

I already wrote my loving review, but I do have one note after making it several times in the past month: the garlic gets really pungent/bitey if you have leftovers a day or two later. Since I'm cooking for one I may omit the garlic next time, but I'm torn about that because I love garlic and it's great in the first round.

Kara, thanks for sharing that. Good to know, but tough decision for you!
