If you haven’t tried cauliflower mash then you really should, it tastes amazing, inf act you won’t even realize it is cauliflower. For the sour cream, I use Greek yoghurt which I sour with some juice of a lemon, this keeps the dish syn free, but if you want to syn some real sour cream, then of course go ahead. This also can make a great topping for shepherds or cottage pie, I suggest adding a couple of raw eggs to the mixture if you use it for this, it will firm it up slightly above the meat filling.
