Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

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.

POTATO AND CAULIFLOWER MASH

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!

This is another wonderful recipe that I found on one of the Ontario milk calendars and it's become a big favourite. To cut down on calories, you can substitute milk for the cream and it still tastes wonderful!

Categories     Potato

Time 40m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 baking potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1 small cauliflower, cut into chunks
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups coarsely grated cheddar cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Place potatoes, cauliflower and garlic in a large saucepan of salted water.
  • Cover and bring to a boil; simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Drain well; return vegetables and garlic to the pan.
  • Set the pan over low heat and mash vegetables and garlic with whipping cream and butter.
  • When the mixture is smooth, stir in the cheese until it's melted.
  • Add salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For a smooth and creamy mash, use starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds.
  • Cook the potatoes and cauliflower separately: This will ensure that both vegetables are cooked evenly.
  • Drain the vegetables well: This will help to prevent the mash from becoming watery.
  • Use a potato ricer or food mill: This will give you the smoothest, most lump-free mash.
  • Add your favorite seasonings: Salt, pepper, and butter are classic additions, but you can also try garlic, herbs, or cheese.
  • Make it ahead: Potato and cauliflower mash can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve.
