Introduction

I love to use Yukon Gold potatoes for this recipe. It really gives this dish a rich flavor. I also like to add a little cayenne pepper for a real kick.

Ingredients

    1/2 large head cauliflower, broken into florets
    1/2 cup nonfat buttermilk
    1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, quartered lengthwise and sliced 1/2-inch thick
    1/2–3/4 cup low-fat milk
    Salt
    Pepper
    1 tablespoon butter
    2 scallions, chopped

Directions

Place the cauliflower in a steamer basket, set over boiling water, cover, and steam 15 minutes. Transfer to a food processor, add the buttermilk and 1/4 cup of the milk, and puree until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, place potatoes in a saucepan and add cold salted water to cover by about 2 inches; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, return to the saucepan and heat over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes to dry. Mash with a potato masher. Add the cauliflower puree, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir to blend, and heat over medium-low heat, adding more milk as needed for a creamy consistency. Stir in the butter and the scallions. Cover, and set aside to keep warm.
