Ingredients

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (4 medium), peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 head cauliflower (2 pounds), cored and cut into large florets
2/3 cup whole milk
1 stick unsalted butter
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add sweet potatoes and return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 8 minutes. Add cauliflower; return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes and cauliflower are very tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and return vegetables to pot. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring, until a film forms on bottom of pot, 1 to 2 minutes.
Combine milk, butter, nutmeg, and cayenne in a small pot. Bring just to a simmer. Add to cauliflower-potato mixture and mash. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, or keep warm in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water up to 1 hour. Mash can be rewarmed by adding about 1/4 cup milk and stirring over low heat.

Onion-flavored cheese adds great flavor, but you can also use cream cheese with chives. For even more buttery flavor, use Yukon Gold potatoes - simply cut 1-1/2 lbs. into 1-inch chunks to keep the cooking time down. This is a great way to get the kids to eat cauliflower!
