CAULIFLOWER MASHED POTATOES (WITH ACTUAL POTATOES)

We’ve seen a ton of inventive recipes out there that substitute cauliflower in place of potatoes when making a delicious side dish for the holidays.

And that got us thinking…

If cauliflower is capable of standing in for potatoes – what kind of delicious magic would occur if we mixed the two together on purpose? (Hint: trust us… you’ll love it!)

Now, we’ve already rounded out plenty of holiday dinners with these rice cooker mashed potatoes – so when it comes to spuds, this isn’t our first rodeo.

But most mashed potato recipes call for milk and butter to make them creamy, smooth and moreish. Well, not this recipe!

The moisture and texture from the cooked cauliflower tames some of the more starchy elements of the potatoes. The result is a silky vegan mashed potatoes recipe you won’t need dairy to fix for you.

We like adding a bit of garlic to the mixture for another level of flavor. There’s just nothing better than garlic mash, right?!

And if you’ve already got all the stove top burners going on a massive holiday feast, you can totally use your rice cooker to whip this one up!

HOW TO MAKE CAULIFLOWER MASHED POTATOES IN A RICE COOKER

Simply add all your ingredients (listed above) to the inner pot of your Tiger multifunctional rice cooker. Select the Slow Cook function for 40 minutes – and press the Start button.

When the cooking cycle has finished, carefully mash the potatoes and cauliflower together. Make sure you use a plastic masher or the plastic rice paddle that was included with your rice cooker. Metal can damage the inner pot! If in doubt, transfer to a separate bowl before mashing.

All you’ll need is a little salt and pepper for seasoning. And if the cauliflower mashed potatoes are a little too thick for your taste just add a tiny bit of water.

We think you’re going to love this delicious holiday side dish mash-up!
