garlic cheddar mashed potatoes

this is my go to side recipe because my whole family loves these. i add cooked cauliflower puree to add veggies/lower calories and nobody in my family knows the difference! In fact, Oli said to me "mommy, can you make this for dinner again tomorrow?" lol it feels like it has been forever since my entire family has eaten the same thing without any complaints! i'll take it!

garlic cheddar mashed potatoes

6 baking potatoes
1 tbsp butter, melted
1 cup cooked cauliflower puree (to make cauliflower puree all you have to do is steam cauliflower in steamer for 10 to 20 minutes- or until cauliflower is soft. you can then throw it in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth)
1/2 cup light sour cream
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese


cook potatoes in salted boiling water. when cooked thoroughly (you can stick a fork through them) drain and place back in pot used to cook. Add remaining ingredients and blend together until desired consistency.
