GARLIC CAULIFLOWER MASHED POTATOES
Elevate the nutrition of your Thanksgiving feast with some delicious garlic cauliflower mashed potatoes—a healthier twist on a classic favorite!
By incorporating cauliflower and Greek yogurt, you can enjoy a creamy texture while cutting down on calories and fat.
Just be sure not to overwhip the potatoes or they’ll take on a pastey texture.
Ingredients (serves 6):
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into medium-sized chunks
1 medium head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets
½ teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
¼ cup fat-free Greek yogurt
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch of ground black pepper
Directions:
Bring water to a boil in two smaller pots or medium saucepans. Boil potatoes and cauliflower in separate pots until tender when stabbed with a fork, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.
Place cauliflower in a food processor and process about 2 minutes or until smooth. Place potatoes and processed cauliflower into a large mixing bowl. Using a stand mixer with a whip attachment, mix on medium speed about 1 minute. An electric hand mixer works, too. But you may need to mix the potatoes and cauliflower a little longer. If you prefer some lumps in your mashed potatoes, use a standard potato masher. 
Add the thyme, butter, yogurt, salt, garlic powder and black pepper. Mix on low about 2 minutes until all ingredients are well blended or mash some more! Serve & Enjoy!!
