Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Easy mashed potatoes made with cauliflower puree - vegan and dairy-free!

📝 Ingredients

• 2 pounds yellow potatoes (also called Butter or Yukon Gold potatoes)
• 1 Tablespoon Kosher salt
• 1 cup Magic Cauliflower Cream
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons fresh chopped parsley or chives
• Pinch of fresh cracked black pepper
• Pinch of flaky sea salt (we love Maldon Salt or Jacobsen Sea Salt here)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- Prep the Potatoes (10 Minutes) ---
2. 2Peel the potatoes (optional) and cut into evenly-sized 2-3 inch pieces. We generally like to cut larger potatoes into quarters and small potatoes in half.
3. 3Add potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water.
4. 4--- Cook the Potatoes (30 Minutes) ---
5. 5Add kosher salt to pot with potatoes and water.
6. 6Cover potatoes and place the pot on a burner over medium heat. (If you’re using a glass or electric stove, you may want to bump the heat up to medium-high).
7. 7Cook potatoes until water reaches a low boil, about 25-30 minutes. Pierce a potato with a fork to check for doneness; if the fork slides easily through the potato, they’re done. If potatoes aren’t yet soft, cook 3-4 minutes more or until potatoes are cooked through and easily pierced with a fork.
8. 8Drain cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.
9. 9--- Mash the Potatoes (5 Minutes) ---
10. 10Return drained potatoes to pot. Add cauliflower cream, salt, and pepper.
11. 11Mash potatoes (we used a handheld potato masher - see our full breakdown of potato mashing methods in our Perfect Mashed Potatoes Tutorial). When potatoes are just mashed, use a spoon or spatula to gently fold everything together. The less you work the potatoes, the better - see why here.
12. 12Taste mashed potatoes and add salt or pepper as necessary.
13. 13--- Garnish (optional, but fun!) ---
14. 14Transfer mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Top with fresh chopped parsley, a few twists of fresh ground black pepper, and a sprinkle of sea salt. Serve immediately.
