Ingredients

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large head cauliflower leaves removed and cut or broken into 1-inch floret pieces
  • ½ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place a steamer insert into two large pots. Add the potatoes to one and cauliflower to the other. Steam the potatoes and cauliflower until fork tender and soft.
    It’s easiest to steam them separately both due to the combined volume but also they will take different amounts of time to become tender enough to mash.
  • Place the potatoes and cauliflower into a large mixing bowl and mash using a potato masher. Alternatively a mixer can be used although over mixing can cause gummy potatoes.
  • Add the yogurt and butter, stir to mix in. Salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

The size of the potatoes and cauliflower will determine how long they need to cook.
  • Variations
    Add roasted garlic.
  • Make a smaller batch. This recipe makes 6 cups of the mash. Keep the proportions 50/50 potatoes to cauliflower and adjust other ingredients as needed.
  • Super whipped potatoes. Mashed texture varies for everyone. This mash mixture is thicker with some texture. If you prefer a whipped texture be sure to cook the potatoes and cauliflower well (so they will completely breakdown when mashed). Add some warm non-fat milk and use a mixer for the final step of whipping.
How to store
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat before serving.
