Potato Cheese and Cauliflower Mash

Submitted by Irmgard

"This is another wonderful recipe that I found on one of the Ontario milk calendars and it's become a big favourite. To cut down on calories, you can substitute milk for the cream and it still tastes wonderful!"

These are great! I adjusted the cream and cheese so it would be a bit healthier, but besides that made as directed. My boyfriend gave them 3.5 stars and I was almost at a 5 star rating for this. Will make again for sure - DELICIOUS :)

This recipe is great! I increased the amount of butter, cheese and salt. I can't wait to feed this to my boyfriend (who loves mashed potatoes, but despises almost every other vegetable).

This is an awesome dish! We absolutely loved the addition of the cauliflower to the potatoes. It gave the potatoes a real boost and enhanced the flavors of the dish. I can't wait to make this for guests. Even those who think they don't like cauliflower are going to love this. Thanks so much for sharing, Irmgard.

Yummy this was excellent! I couldn't really taste the garlic (but I put garlic in everything), so next time I'll add some garlic powder in addition to the cloves. Very excellent dish.

Totally YUMMY! We love cauliflower, potatoes and garlic, so this was like a simple "all-in-one" side dish. Loved the garlcky flavor. The cream gave it such a smooth texture. The cauliflower taste is very subtle, so if you don't like cauliflower, you could trick yourself (or others) into eating it in this dish. I agree that this would be just as yummy with milk, or even a low-fat cheese. I'm gonna make this again and again....I think I'll try some Gouda cheese next time....Mmmmm. Thanx for a great recipe!
