Smashed Cauliflower Potatoes
Written by Diana - December 1, 2008 3 Comments
I love this delicious great tasting dish. It doesn’t take a long time to make, and the garlic, potatoes and cauliflower all blend together quite well. I used Grana Padano Cheese, a cheese that is similar to Parmesan Reggiano. It’s a hard cheese that adds a really nice flavor to this dish. PR – may be substituted.
Ingredients:
6-8 small red potatoes
1/2 head of cauliflower
3 -4 cloves of garlic
Olive Oil
Salt& Pepper
Herbs du Provence
Grana Padano Cheese
Directions:
Quarter potatoes and cut cauliflower florets into similar size pieces. Boil water in a large pot, add potatoes and cauliflower. When fork tender, drain off as much water as possible. In a high sided skillet, saute garlic in about 4 tbs of Olive Oil on a low heat until cooked really well in order to infuse the oil with a garlic taste. Take garlic out and throw into compost. After Potatoes and Cauliflower has drained, put back into pot and smash with potato masher, or with potato ricer and mix together. Add 2 new cloves of garlic – smashed and chopped into potatoes and cauliflower, add salt , pepper, seasonings and mix together. Put mixture and heated garlic oil. Grate cheese and stir into mixture. Place into greased baking dish and into the oven at 400 until cheese is melted.

I make a mashed cauliflower dish with a little sour cream and fresh parmesan cheese. When I steam the cauliflower, I steam garlic in with it and then throw it all into the food processor. If I use fat free sour cream, it’s a low fat, low carb dish. My son loves it with cheddar.

Oh my that sounds and looks so good. I’ll have to try my hand at making that one day.
