Any suggestions if you don’t have a food processor?
If you have a mini chopper or immersion blender, you can puree in small batches. If not, you can use cauliflower rice instead and mash using a hand masher then mix in the rest of the ingredients using a hand mixer. They won’t come out as smooth, but should still work fairly well.
Best mashed cauliflower ever
