One of the best parts about using Cauliflower for mashed potatoes is that it offers a lighter option compared to mashed potatoes. I love me some mashed potatoes but sometimes it sits so heavy! This side dish has a silky smooth puree type vibe to it that will go great with numerous main dishes!

I added some cheese to this to add some richness and solid flavor. Definitely takes this to the next level. This recipe is super easy and comes together in no time so lets get to cooking!

CAULIFLOWER CHEESY MASH STEPS

You want to start by breaking down two medium sized heads of cauliflower to small florets. Add them to a big pot and cover with water.

You will cover this with 2 tsp salt then bring to a boil. This will cook for about 30 minutes. You will know its done when you can pierce a floret easily with a fork.

Drain the cauliflower then we will mash with a hand blender. This is a pro kitchen tool to have around! You can also throw the pieces in a blender to puree.

Serve this with my meatloaf to have a bomb ass dinner!

Let’s get to cooking!

Stir around so that everything gets combined then use a hand blender to puree everything. If you don’t have one, you could do a a few batches in the blender to puree then re add that back to the pot.
Once you have a smooth puree, add in the 3 grated garlic cloves and the 1/2 cup parmigiana-reggiano. stir until cheese is melted then slowly sprinkle in the 1 1/2 cups shredded white cheddar while stirring. Once all of the cheese is melted and combined add in 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Mix up then serve.
