MASHED POTATOES WITH CAULIFLOWER



Mashed Potatoes with Cauliflower image

Silky smooth, creamy mashed potatoes with cauliflower is an updated version of an old classic!

Provided by Deb Clark

Categories     Vegetables and Side Dishes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head cauliflower
6 cups Russet Potatoes (peeled & cubed about 3 large potatoes)
¼ cup sour cream
2-3 tablespoons cream or milk (optional)
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Remove the core from the cauliflower and cut it into large florets.
  • Peel and dice the potatoes. They are more dense than cauliflower, cutting them into a dice smaller in size than the cauliflower will ensure both cook evenly and be done at the same time.
  • Combine cauliflower & potatoes in a large pot & cover with cold water - add a heaping tablespoon of salt.
  • Bring water to a boil, reduce to simmer until the potatoes & cauliflower are fork tender, 12-15 minutes. Drain really well in a colander and return the potatoes and cauliflower to the hot pot that you cooked them in set on the stove (burner off). Setting them back on the stove, onto the hot burner will steam the remaining water off the vegetables.
  • In a small pan, warm the sour cream and butter. Add it to the potatoes along with the shredded cheese. With a potato masher, potato ricer or a hand mixer, mash/mix until they are well combined. If the potatoes need some extra moisture, add the milk.
  • Taste & adjust seasonings. Because the cheese is salty, you may not need any additional salt, but I always add a pinch of pepper.

This recipe is so easy and healthy. I love mashed potatoes, and when I started the South Beach Diet® and couldn't have them, I had to find an alternative. This is an awesome alternative, and people who hate vegetables love it. I do recommend using a large food processor for this recipe.
