Steps:
- Cut the stalk off the cauliflower and chop the cauliflower head into 2-inch pieces.
- Fill a Dutch oven or stockpot 2/3rd full of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Add 1-tablespoon table salt and the cauliflower and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook the cauliflower until very tender, about 20 minutes.
- Drain the cauliflower, and return it to the pot.
- Set the heat to LOW, and cook just until the excess moisture from the cauliflower cooks off, about 1 minute. Remove pan from the heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons butter, heavy cream, and pepper. Use an immersion blender or countertop blender to puree the cauliflower.
- Add the cheeses and season to taste with kosher salt, if needed.
- Serve immediately with a tab of butter and a sprinkle of fresh chives.

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.

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!
