Instructions

- Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and set aside. Drain the remaining liquid

Notes
*For a smoother mashed potato consistency, using a potato ricer may be preferred.
*Alternate potato option if you do not have baby gold or fingerling potatoes: Yukon gold or russet potatoes will also work great in this cauliflower and potato mash recipe! Since these are larger potatoes, you will need to cut them into smaller pieces (approximately 1-2” cubes) prior to boiling.
