Many times cauliflower is used as a substitute for potatoes. I’m really don’t see them as a substitute because the flavor is pretty different. However, I do like cauliflower as as side with its own flavor profile. This dish is loaded with lots of flavors that happen to also pair well with potatoes, but with none of the starchy carbs.
