Sweet Potato Cauliflower Mash
This super creamy and fluffy mashed sweet potatoes and cauliflower recipe is made with healthy ingredients like Greek yogurt, fresh herbs, and vegetable broth. The perfect Thanksgiving and Holiday dinner side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs sweet potato, 2 – 3 medium, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 head cauliflower, ~2 lbs, cut into medium florets
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 - 4 tbsp chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 - 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp salt, more to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Add sweet potato cubes and cauliflower florets to a large saucepot or dutch oven. Add enough water to cover them by about 1 inch. Then add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
- Cook for 15 – 25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes and cauliflower florets are fork-tender. If they are not cooked long enough it will be difficult to mash them.
- Drain the water and add them back into the empty pot or into a large mixing bowl. Then mash with a potato masher or use a press.
- Whisk in the Greek yogurt, chicken or vegetable broth, garlic, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper with a spatula or electric hand mixer on low speed. For extra fluffiness, I recommend using a hand mixer.
- Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.
- Garnish fresh rosemary, parsley, or some butter, and enjoy!
Notes
Greek Yogurt: 0%, 2%, and 5% all work.
Storing: let them cool to room temperature, then wrap the original dish in aluminum foil or transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for 3 – 4 days.
Reheating: I highly recommend reheating these mashed sweet potatoes in the oven at 350°F for 10 – 20 minutes in the original baking dish. Once they are warm, whisk in a splash of vegetable stock or 1 – 2 Tablespoons more of Greek yogurt before serving.
