  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and quartered (skins on)
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped
  • 1 head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into florets
  • 2 teaspoons garlic (fresh or jarred)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 cup cauliflower cooking water

Instructions

1. Boil the potatoes and sweet potato

Wash the potatoes well and keep the skins on. Peel the sweet potato. Chop everything into medium chunks and boil until fork-tender.

2. Cook the cauliflower

Cut the cauliflower head into florets, removing the green leaves. Add a bayleaf and a teaspoon of garlic. Boil until soft, then drain (reserve 1 cup of cooking water).

3. Blend the cauliflower mixture

Add cooked cauliflower, salt, pepper, and the cup of cooking water to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

4. Mash and combine

In a large bowl, mash the potatoes and sweet potato with a potato masher and a teaspoon of garlic. Slowly fold in the cauliflower cream. Add nutritional yeast. This is ready to be served now!

Notes

This lighter mash is my go-to side dish when I want something cozy and creamy without the extra calories. It pairs perfectly with my mushroom meatloaf vegan and makes the best meal-prep bowls. Enjoy!
