How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure cauliflower is used instead of potatoes. Confirm no flour or cornstarch is used to thicken the cream sauce. Ask for extra cheese for higher fat.
Watch out for
Flour or cornstarch thickeners are common in cream sauces. Ensure cauliflower is the only 'vegetable' base and no potatoes are present. Check for hidden sugars in any prepared cream bases.
