Ingredients

• 500 grams Cauliflower florets
• 300 grams Potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet, peeled and diced)
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 milliliters Heavy cream
• 1 clove Garlic (optional, peeled and crushed)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, finely chopped for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower by washing and separating it into small florets.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and chop them into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a large pot of salted water, add the cauliflower florets, diced potatoes, and the garlic clove (if using).

Step 4

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are fork-tender.

Drain the cooked cauliflower and potatoes thoroughly and discard the garlic clove if used.

Step 6

Transfer the drained vegetables to a food processor or back into the pot if using a handheld immersion blender.

Step 7

Add the butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding a splash of extra cream if necessary.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper as needed.

Step 9

Serve the purée warm, garnished with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley if desired.
