These keto mashed potatoes are perfectly fluffy and creamy, but made WITHOUT potatoes! No cauliflower needed, a secret ingredient mimics potatoes without the carbs! Even since going keto, I’ve had a select few dishes I make whenever I’m craving something traditional carby, but minus the carbs. My go-to foods are pizza, cheese bread and mac and cheese, but whenever I’m craving something super comforting, my favorite thing to make is keto mashed potatoes. Now, we all know that traditional potatoes are not keto friendly. Most keto mashed potato recipes use cauliflower instead, but I’ve never found that to be the best substitute. It never gets as thick or creamy as a potato mash should be. It also has a subtle cauliflower flavor that is very clear. Instead, I use another low carb vegetable- rutabaga! Using rutabaga as a potato substitute is truly a game changer. I first tried this out in a keto potato salad and couldn’t tell the difference and the same goes for this dish. This mashed potato substitute is fluffy and perfectly smooth. It’s flavorful, buttery, and tastes like actual potatoes! What I love about this keto mashed potato recipe is just how easy it is to make! It’s great for parties or big dinners, but also fantastic as a weeknight vegetable side dish. Pour over some keto gravy and you have an instant comfort food fix!

Start by adding the chopped rutabaga into a pot of salted water. Bring it to a boil and let them cook until tender. Next, drain the rutabaga and, using a hand mixer, break them down until smooth. Now, slowly add the melted butter and the warm heavy cream until creamy. Transfer into a serving bowl and enjoy immediately.

Tips to make the best recipe

When adding the cream, be sure to do it slowly, so it doesn’t become watery. If you need it to be creamier, add more cream. The heavy cream must be warmed up, so it can soften the cooled rutabaga. For an even thicker texture, you can swap out half the heavy cream for softened cream cheese.
