Equipment

  • Using a hand blender/immersion blender makes the mash smoother but it is not essential.

Ingredients

  • About 150 grams potatoes I always leave the skin on to maximize vitamin intake.
  • About 500 grams raw cauliflower
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions

  • Scrub the potatoes and rinse the cauliflower, then cut both into chunks and boil in unsalted water for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through.
  • Drain and then mash it all up. I start by using a hand masher like the one pictured and then finish with a hand blender to get that velvety texture.

  • Add the nutritional yeast and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Notes

Due to the water content in the cauliflower it is usually not necessary to add any other liquid but if you like a looser mash you can add a bit of unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice) during the mashing process.
