Notes
- Use a 1 to 1 ratio of cauliflower and potatoes for classic mashed potato taste with fewer calories.
- Cut cauliflower and potatoes into even pieces so they cook at the same rate and mash smoothly.
- Cook until very soft and fork tender for the creamiest texture.
- Drain very well and let the vegetables sit in the colander to remove excess water so the mash is not runny.
- Add Greek yogurt and butter while the vegetables are still hot so they melt in and create a smooth, creamy mash.
- Adjust seasoning at the end with salt, pepper, garlic and herbs until the flavor really stands out.
- If the mash is too thin, cook off extra moisture over low heat or stir in a small cornstarch slurry while hot.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 to 7 days and reheat gently with a splash of liquid if needed.
