A delightful twist on classic mashed potatoes, combining the creaminess of potatoes with the subtle flavor of cauliflower and roasted garlic.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
Adding a pinch of salt to the water can enhance the flavor of the vegetables.
Add the cauliflower florets and peeled, chopped potatoes to the boiling water. Cook until tender.
Test the tenderness with a fork; they should be soft but not falling apart.
Drain the cooked vegetables and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Let the vegetables sit for a minute to release excess steam, preventing watery mash.
Mash the vegetables together with olive oil and butter until smooth.
For a creamier texture, use a hand blender or food processor.
Stir in the milk, sour cream, roasted garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed for your preference.
Serve the mashed mixture warm, garnished with a sprinkle of paprika or fresh herbs.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
