Ingredients
- 4 cups peeled and cubed Russet potatoes (about 2-3 medium potatoes)
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 cup cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1⁄4 cup milk plus more as needed
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more for boiling the potatoes and cauliflower
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- chives optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain well, then let sit for 1-2 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
- Add the cauliflower to a separate pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.
- Add the cooked cauliflower, cannellini beans, Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and milk to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding another splash of milk if needed.
- Mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth. Add the cauliflower-bean mixture and gently stir or mash until well combined.
- Taste and add more salt, pepper, or milk as needed. Garnish with fresh chives and serve warm.
