Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Purple potatoes
- 1 small head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Instructions
Start by washing the purple potatoes and cauliflower thoroughly. Peel the purple potatoes and cut them into equal-sized chunks for even cooking.
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower, then chop it into florets similar in size to the potato chunks.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Add the potato chunks to the boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes. Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and continue cooking for another 15 minutes or until both the potatoes and cauliflower are fork-tender.
While the vegetables are cooking, peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them. Chop the chives finely and set aside.
Drain the potatoes and cauliflower in a colander and return them to the pot.
Reduce the heat to low and add heavy cream, butter, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash all the ingredients together until they reach a smooth, creamy consistency. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Transfer the mashed mixture to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives.
Serve warm as a delightful side dish to your favorite main course.
