Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes
Cauliflower mashed potatoes are a good way to sneak cruciferous veggies past your pickiest eaters! I had heard for a while that you can make mashed potatoes with cauliflower, but was a little nervous to use entirely cauliflower! For these cauliflower mashed potatoes I used some red potatoes, and some cauliflower, and they came out delicious! The cauliflower actually really adds a nice flavor to the potatoes, without overpowering them. Make sure to use red or other waxy potatoes, because they are significantly lower on the Glycemic Index than russets! Russets are as high on the GI as sugar!!! Feel free to add some pumpkin or sweet potato for even more nutrients and a festive color!
