Ingredients

• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 4 cups Cauliflower florets
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
• 2 medium Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
• 2 tablespoons Milk (optional, to adjust consistency)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the Russet potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a large pot, add the diced potatoes and cauliflower florets. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until both the potatoes and cauliflower are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the vegetables are cooking, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh chives. Set aside.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes and cauliflower thoroughly in a colander, ensuring no excess water remains.

Step 6

Return the drained vegetables to the pot or a large mixing bowl. Add the unsalted butter, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash or blend the mixture until your desired consistency is reached. For a creamier texture, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk, if needed.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.

Step 9

Garnish the mashed mixture with chopped fresh chives before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a healthy and delicious side dish.
