Garlic Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Untitled design (1).png

Cauliflower makes a delicious dish in so many ways. Mixing it with potatoes makes it the ultimate comfort food and I just feel better about piling it on my plate since it’s not ‘just potatoes’. Here’s a quick and easy version to try—

INGREDIENTS

1/2 a large cauliflower or 1 smaller one, chopped

4 medium potatoes, cut into 1-inch slices (farm fresh potatoes are amazing and there will be some later in the warm season. For now, if you’re not sure where to find affordable organic potatoes, you can always try yukon gold organic potatoes available at Trader Joe’s for a pretty good price.)

6 to 8 garlic cloves, peeled

a sprig or two of fresh herbs (try thyme and/or rosemary)

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Put potatoes, cauliflower, garlic and herb sprigs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until veggies are cooked through and soft enough to mash.

Drain water and remove the sprigs.

Add olive oil, salt and pepper and mash it all up!

Serve it up and enjoy.
