Cauliflower/carrot/potato Smash
From essentialingredients 13 years agoIngredients
- 1 head fresh cauliflower shopping list
- ¾ cup roasted carrot puree** (or 3-4 med/large carrots boiled) shopping list
- 1 pouch instant mashed potatoes (I used Betty Crocker brand, Cheesy roasted garlic) shopping list
- 1 small shallot, finely grated shopping list
- 1 tablespoon butter shopping list
- 2 tablespoons light sour cream shopping list
- 2 tablespoons light cream cheese shopping list
- salt & pepper to taste shopping list
How to make it
- Cut the cauliflower into florets and cook* until tender.
- {If you are cooking carrots also, (not using puree) peel carrots, cut into small pieces and cook* until tender.}
- Meanwhile, prepare the instant potatoes according to package directions, omitting butter.
- Cover prepared potatoes and set aside.
- Once cauliflower (and carrots) are tender, drain and return to hot pot.
- Finely grate a small shallot into the cauliflower.
- Add butter, light sour cream and light cream cheese.
- Mash everything thoroughly with handheld potato masher.
- If using roasted carrot puree (instead of cooked carrots) add the puree to the mashed cauliflower mixture.
- Add prepared potatoes and mix everything together until thoroughly combined.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- *I boiled the cauliflower, but I plan to try this using other cooking methods in the future. I think roasting the cauliflower would be wonderful. Use whatever method you prefer and are comfortable with to prepare the veggies for this recipe.
- **Roasted Carrot Puree – {I always keep carrot and squash purees on hand in the freezer to add to various recipes.}
- Peel carrots and cut into even sized pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt & pepper and lay out on a foil-lined sheet tray. Roast in 425 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until soft (adjust oven time accordingly depending on how large or small you cut the carrot). Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Using food processor or blender, puree the roasted carrot, drizzling in a little EVOO if necessary.
- Use immediately, refrigerate or freeze.
