Sweet Potato Cauliflower Mash is an easy and delicious way to eat more vegetables!

Ingredients

Scale

Water, for cooking

2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (approximately 2 large sweet potatoes)

2 pounds cauliflower florets (one large, 3-pound cauliflower with center stalk removed will yield 2 pounds of florets)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

3/4 cup chopped onion, small dice

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Add approximately two inches of water to the bottom of a large pot with cover. Add diced sweet potatoes to the pot, then place the cauliflower florets on top of the sweet potatoes.  Over high heat, bring water to a boil.  Reduce to a fast simmer and cover, then cook for 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and soft when pierced with a fork.
  2. While sweet potatoes and cauliflower simmer, melt butter in a small skillet.  Add diced onion, and sauté over medium heat until onions are soft and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Once sweet potatoes and cauliflower florets are cooked through, pour into a colander.  Place vegetables back in the pot and mash with a potato masher, mixing the sweet potatoes and cauliflower together.
  4. At this point you have a choice – leave the sweet potatoes and cauliflower as a chunkier mash, or you can puree the mixture in a food processor like we did for a smoother texture.  If leaving as a chunkier mash, stir in the butter-onion mixture and the garlic powder, white pepper and salt, mixing to combine.
  5. If you want a smoother mixture, add the mashed sweet potatoes and cauliflower to a food processor along with the butter and onion mixture and seasonings.  Process until smooth.
  6. Serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe uses equal amounts (in weight) of sweet potato and cauliflower. However, it’s a very forgiving recipe and you can increase one or the other vegetable based on the produce you buy at the store.
