Ingredients

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

Begin by gathering your ingredients: cauliflower and potatoes.

If you’re using a whole cauliflower, chop it into florets.

Peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 2: Cook the Vegetables

Place the chopped potatoes and cauliflower into a large pot.

Fill the pot with enough water to cover the vegetables.

Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3: Drain and Mash

Once the vegetables are tender, drain the water from the pot.

Return the drained vegetables to the pot and mash the potatoes and cauliflower together until smooth.

You can use a potato masher, an immersion blender, or a food processor for this step.

Step 4: Season and Combine

Add your desired seasonings to the mashed mixture.

Common choices include salt, pepper, and butter.

Adjust seasoning to taste.

Mix well until everything is combined and creamy.

Step 5: Serve

Transfer the mashed potatoes and cauliflower to a serving dish.

Serve warm as a delicious and nutritious side dish.

Enjoy!
