Mashed Cauliflower is another good one. If you add butter and cream you would almost believe it's mashed potatoes.
I add 1 potato to a head of cauliflower and that really makes a difference in making it more "mashed" potato like. I also steam, instead of boil, the cauliflower so it's not so watery.
Definitely steaming cauliflower is the way to go, unless you feel like roasting it.
Oil and season the cauliflower florets, set on a shallow baking tin lined with parchment or a silicon sheet, and bake at 450F about 25-35 minutes, turning them occasionally. The more caramelization, the better the flavor.

My wife makes it all of the time. Just cook it a little more till it gets really soft. She uses an immersion blender to puree and it comes out just like mashed potatoes, no need to add a potato. You could use a regular blender as well, just add a little milk or cream to get it going.

I do cook until very soft. I've made it both ways. I prefer, as does my family, adding in a potato.
When putting coked drained cauliflower back in pot , put a kitchen cloth over pot before replacing lid cloth traps the steam instead of going back into pot , do the same with mash potatoes .
Riced cauliflower has a similar consistency to rice. But it's going to take on the flavor of whatever you cook it with.
So if it's plain, it's not going to be great haha.
I've found you can cook it with eggs to easily get add a serving of veggies into it. I've personally enjoyed cooking it with Bragg's Liquid Aminos (with other veggies) as well.
