I love smashed potatoes but they don't really love me back! But I'm not overly keen on the flavor of cauliflower either. Still, I need to watch those carbs. So I developed my version of the popular mashed potato cauliflower dish.
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut down and stems removed to only florets are present
- 1 small yellow or russet potato (around 3" circumference)
- 1/4 cup sour cream (lite is ok)
- 1/4 cup neufchatel cheese
- 2 tbsp butter or margarine
- Chop the cauliflower into small pieces
- Cut the potato up into small pieces
- Place both in a mircrowave bowl, add in 1/4 cup water and cover
- Cook at 2 minute intervals until fork tender
- Remove to tee towel and give it a squeeze until no water runs out
- Place in processor with the cheese, sour cream and margarine and pulse to kind of smooth (don't pulse to mush!)
- Add salt and pepper and mix by hand.
