White Cheddar Sage, Cauliflower & Potato Mash

White Cheddar Sage, Cauliflower & Potato Mash

*I like to do more cauliflower than potato when I make this recipe to keep the starch level a little lower, you can do the same if you wish. Both ways are great and provide a great flavor and texture.

Ingredients:

• 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 6-8 golden potatoes, peeled (optional) and cut into cubes
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2/3 cup milk
• 2 cups grated white cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions:

1. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water and sprinkle with salt. Heat to a high boil. Then reduce heat to simmer about 10 minutes. Add cauliflower to pot and bring to a boil again, then reduce heat. Simmer 20 minutes or until cauliflower and potatoes are tender. Drain well.

2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and then add 2 tablespoons sage, stir about 3 minutes until butter begins to lightly brown. Add milk and bring to a simmer.

3. Mash potatoes and cauliflower with butter and milk mixture and then fold in your cheddar cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with sage.
