Made this with three different recipe variations and served it to company last night and they just loved it. Hope you like it. You can use frozen cauliflower but I like fresh best. If you prefer smooth potatoes , you can put it in a blender or food processor for a whipped texture.

Ingredients:

2 heads cauliflower (cooked soft)

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

3 scallions (chopped white and green parts)

1/2 cup butter (softened)

1/4 cup sour cream

1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)

2 -6 teaspoons heavy cream (to desired consistancy)

2 cups cheese (i use shredded sharp white cheddar)

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

6 slices bacon (crumbled)

2 scallions (chopped green only)

1/2 cup cheese (on top optional)
