Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower cut into florets
  • 4 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Steam the cauliflower florets in boiling water until tender. Drain well.
  • Add the cooked florets to a mixing bowl with the butter and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Use a potato masher to mash the cauliflower to your liking.
  • Mix in the heavy whipping cream and continue to mash to incorporate it.
  • Serve garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Make sure the cauliflower is tender. Steam them until they are almost falling apart and you can easily pierce them with a fork.
Use a potato masher or electric mixer. Either of these two things will be more effective at smashing and mixing the cauliflower than just a wooden spoon.
Add your favorite garnishes. This is the fun part! Garnish with fresh chives, scallions, or some chopped fresh parsley.
