Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 4 cups Cauliflower florets
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into roughly 2-inch cubes.
Place the potatoes, cauliflower florets, and garlic cloves into a large pot. Cover with water, ensuring all ingredients are submerged.
Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes and cauliflower are fork-tender.
Drain the pot and return the potatoes, cauliflower, and garlic to the pot. Shake the pot gently over low heat for about a minute to remove any excess moisture.
Add the butter, whole milk, salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Mash the mixture using a potato masher or an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
