“Potato” Salad

MNKetoMom — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 00:38:29 +0000

Summer is quickly drawing to an end. Potato salad is one of those things that screams summer. Making a low carb version was a must for barbecues. This recipe is quick and easy to whip up, but plan to do it in advance as it is better as the flavors develop in the fridge. It really is a perfect summer side dish.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup Sour Cream

1/3 cup Mayonnaise

1 Tbsp Mustard

2 tsp Parsley Flakes

1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

2 bags (12 oz each) Steamable Cauliflower

6 Hard-Boiled Eggs (rough chop)

2 Tbsp Chopped Pickles

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

Steam cauliflower per bag instructions.
Spread out on paper towel and allow to cool (and dry) until you can use your hands to break up the florets into bite size pieces.
Mix all ingredients together in large bowl until all of the cauliflower is covered. Salt and pepper as needed.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The longer you leave it in the better the flavors combine. If you can plan to do it the day before, its even better!

Keto Enchilada Bake

I’ve always been a big fan of Mexican cuisine, but it is traditionally carb heavy. Tortillas, beans, and Spanish rice may be out when keeping yourself in ketosis, but you won’t even miss them with this filling enchilada bake.

It also makes the perfect weeknight meal because you only need 30 minutes and one pan! There is nothing better than an easy, delicious, and filling meal that also has easy clean up.

Ingredients:

1 pound cooked taco meat
10 oz Enchilada Sauce- I like: Las Palmas Enchilada Sauce, Medium, 10 Ounce (Pack of 24)
1 bag Frozen Cauliflower Rice (Steam in bag variety is easiest to save time and dishes!)
4 oz can Green Chilis
1 cup Sharp Cheddar (shredded)
Desired Toppings:
- Avocado
- Salsa
- Sour Cream
- Olives
- Diced Tomatos
- Guacamole

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350*
Steam cauliflower rice according to package instructions.
In 8×8 pan, mix taco meat, cauliflower rice, enchilada sauce, and chilis.
Top with shredded cheese.
Bake for 20 mins or until cheese on top is melted and dish is bubbling.
Serve with desired toppings.

Cauliflower Tots

Tator tots are a midwest must have, but potatoes are a keto no-go. I couldn’t contain my excitement when I came across this recipe. With a few tweaks, it was perfect. They are a great side dish for your bunless burger.

I recommend making extra as they are great to freeze! Once baked and cooled, store in a ziplock bag. Using an air fryer: cook at 350* for 5 mins or until warmed through. Great for easy weeknight meals for the kids especially when pared with my kid approved chicken nuggets.

Enjoy!

Cauliflower Tots

Ingredients:

1 bag cauliflower rice (Highly recommend the steam in the bag kind to save time and sanity!)
2 eggs
1 cup parmesan
1-2 Tbsp Trader Joe’s onion salt
dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
2 Tbsp butter

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450º F. If convection is an option, set convection bake 425º F. I find that by using convection I get better browning.
2. Cook cauliflower rice according to package instructions.
3. Strain out extra water. I love using my Ellie’s Best Nut Milk Bag to do this! You can get yours HERE and use code MNKetoMom for 10% off.
4. Mix together: eggs, onion salt, parmesan, cayenne, and butter in a bowl. This helps to absorb some of the liquid of the eggs and helps the tots keep their shape.
5. Once cauliflower has finished, mix it into the egg mixture.
6. Using a cookie scoop, divide up the mixture into tots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicon liners.
7. Bake for 15-20 or until the outside has turned to a golden brown.
