Directions

Step 1

Peel the yams and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and break it into florets.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the yam cubes. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the yams are tender.

In the same pot used for the yams, add the heavy cream and butter. Warm them over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Add the cooked yams and cauliflower back into the pot. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash them together until smooth.

Step 8

Season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

Continue to heat over low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure an even texture.
