Ingredients

    1 large (about 13-oz or 365 grams) red potato
    3 cups cauliflower florets
    3 tbsp. fat-free half & half
    1 tbsp. land o lakes butter w/ canola oil
    1/4 tsp. salt
    dash of pepper (or to taste)
    1/2 tsp. crushed garlic (or garlic salt - to taste)

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. While waiting for the water to boil, wash the potato thoroughly and cube (peel if you prefer skin-off... though you will lose nutrients this way!).

Once water is boiling, add peeled potato cubes and cauliflower. Wait for the water to return to a boil, and then reduce heat to medium. Cook for 15 - 20 minutes (until potatoes and cauliflower are very tender).

Remove the pot from heat and strain out all of the water. Transfer contents to a large bowl, and add half & half, butter, salt, and (if you like) either variation of the garlic. Mash it all together with a potato masher or hand mixer, until completely blended. Season to taste with pepper and additional salt. Enjoy!

Makes 5 generous 2/3 cup servings : )
