"Here Ive jazzed up mashed potatoes with cauliflower, giving the dish a boost in nutrients, especially vitamin C, while also making it lower in calories. Because cauliflower has a mellow flavor and creamy texture, the result is much like the traditional version of the ever-popular side dish. Although the potatoes are sharing the stage, they still play an important role, holding everything together after mashing." -- Laura Theodore
2 medium white potatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup unsweetened nondairy milk, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon vegan margarine, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
Chopped fresh parsley or basil, for garnish
Directions
Steam the cauliflower and potatoes until soft but not mushy, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the nondairy milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming hot but not boiling.
Transfer the cauliflower and potatoes to a medium bowl and add the nondairy milk, margarine, and salt. Mash with a potato masher until smooth and lump-free, adding more nondairy milk or margarine as needed to achieve the desired consistency. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley if desired.
