Not Just Mashed Potatoes...

I made the mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner this year.  I wanted to try to make them healthier.  Here is a recipe that is only half potatoes and butterless.  You would never know that the butter was missing and that they were full of cauliflower! I used half potatoes and half cauliflower to lower the calories.

Not Just Mashed Potatoes

Cook you potatoes and defrost your cauliflower.

Add the yogurt and cheese.

Mash.

Blend until smooth.

Very smooth and fluffy!

Don’t drop the food processor on the floor,

Or you will find your dog with potatoes on his chin 15 minutes later.

Add your chives and mix.

Garnish and Enjoy!

Not Just Mashed Potatoes

Inspired by Rachael Ray

Serves 12-16

• 2 Bags Ore Ida Steam ‘n Mash Potatoes
• 2 Bags Frozen Cauliflower (16 oz each)
• 4.4 oz Boursin Light Garlic & Fresh Herb
• 16 oz. Plain Non-Fat Chobani Greek Yogurt
• 1/2 Cup Diced Fresh Chives
• Milk
• Salt & Pepper

1. Cook you mashed potatoes in the microwave as directed.
2. Defrost the cauliflower and drain the excess water.
3. Add the potatoes, cauliflower, and yogurt in your mixing bowl.  Using a hand mixer, mix until all of the potatoes are mashed.
4. Add the cheese and continue to mix.  Add just enough milk to make the potatoes have the consistency that you like.
5. The cauliflower doesn’t mash as well as the potatoes.  Add the mixture to a food processor, small amounts at a time, and blend until smooth.
6. Once everything has been through the food processor, mix in your chives.  Leave a few to garnish on top.
