I tried to follow a recipe here and it wasnt what I expected, it wasn't the whipped or really mashed texture I expected.And I tried, believe me. Let me know what you find out and how it comes out. I liked mine, but it wasnt anything like mashed potatoes to me. Good luck and let me know! 

Yeah, it won't taste like mashed potatoes at all. It tastes like smashed up cauliflower. I really liked it though. I basically just steamed or boiled in water until soft and then let it drain really good. Use a masher or put in food processor. Add a little cream or milk (i used fat free half and half) some butter/margarine, salt and pepper to taste. I even like to add a little shredded cheese to it as well.  

also a good cauliflower recipe i found is on the Food Network website. It is called Cauliflower "mac and cheese". You can just put that in the search bar and it should pull up. My husband loved this and he really doesn't especially like anything different i try to make. So this was a hit for him and my 4 year old.  

LOL I added a good scoop or two of crushed garlic to mine and a bit of ff sour cream, some lite mozzarella, milk, butter substitute, with pepper. It's not "quite the same" as mashed tatoes, but I did it in my food processor and it turned out pretty good! There is a recipe here on the site, I believe. Good luck with that! :)
