Method
Fill large pot with water, cover with lid, and bring to a boil on High.
Add cauliflower florets and cook for about 10 minutes, until the florets can easily be pierced with fork and slide right off.
Use strainer to drain the cauliflower, then set aside.
Place empty pot back on stove, and reduce heat to medium. Melt butter, then add garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Turn off stove burner.
Add cauliflower back to pot, and mash with potato masher until lumps are minimal and it's well combined.
Add sour cream and parmesan cheese. Add salt, pepper, and any other desired spices (see ingredient list for optional suggestions).
Stir with spoon until well combined. Alternatively, combine with potato masher. Serve immediately with entrée of choice.
