In an attempt to coerce my family to eat more veggies I made a 1/2 healthy version of mashed potatoes tonight.Ingredients:
Head of cauliflower
3 red potatoes
a little butter
1/4 cup of milk
Directions:
Boil the cauliflower and potatoes until tender. I find this takes about 20-30 minutes. I combine the potatoes and cauliflower in the same pot to boil them. Less dishes is always good in my book! Drain the cauliflower and potatoes. Put the cauliflower, potatoes, butter, and milk together. Mix it up. I use my Kitchen Aid but a hand mixer or potato smasher would work just fine! Salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm and enjoy.
Does it taste very close to mashed tators? Hmmm....it would save a lot of carbs! LOL And most of my kids actually LIKE cauliflower! Visiting from the Lovin' the Weekend Blog Hop. New follower!
ReplyDeleteIt sort of tastes like taters, ;D At least it looks like taters!
ReplyDeleteLess carbs too!! That is always good for me. I love mashed potatoes but I try not to eat them very often.
ReplyDeleteWe've been doing this for a while now and my kids love them! It's so much healthier for you as well. I really don't miss regular mash at all now!

Did Little Bit like it? Both of my boys gag on mashed potatoes otherwise I would totally try this...hubby and I love mashed potatoes.
ReplyDeleteMy mom would do this with carrots instead of cauliflower! It made the potatoes so pretty! How did your family like it? I like potatoes and cauliflower!
