Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Yukon Gold potatoes peel if you like, and cut into large even pieces
- 1 head cauliflower stem removed and roughly chopped
- 3-4 cloves garlic crushed or minced
- 4-5 Tbsp olive oil or 6 Tbsp vegan butter
- 1 Tbsp minced fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried, or sub other seasonings
- 1/4 cup unflavored and unsweetened plant-based milk I recommend oat for a more creamy texture
- salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
- sliced green onions
- Simple Vegan Gravy
Instructions
- Fill steaming pot with 1-2 inches of water and insert steamer. Bring water to a boil.
- Add potatoes to the steamer and cover. Steam for 10 minutes.
- Add cauliflower and cover. Steam an additional 10-15 minutes until both potatoes and cauliflower are easily pierced with a fork.
- While potatoes and cauliflower are steaming, heat oil in a separate small pot on medium heat. Add garlic and rosemary and cook about 1 minute. Add milk and heat until warm. Set aside.
- Remove steamer, dump water from pot, and add the steamed potatoes and cauliflower back to the empty pot. Cook on low an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, to remove any excess water.
- Mash the potatoes using a potato masher. Stir in the oil mixture and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
