Potato Suprise


I love making recipes that disguise healthy ingredients.  My husband doesn't like cauliflower and I usually end up tossing his portion down the disposal.  And since he's an adult, I can't threaten him with no dessert if he doesn't eat his veggies.  He eats dessert anyway.  It's amazing that he's still alive with the scant amount of fruits and vegetables that he eats in a day.  So to remedy this, I made "mashed potatoes" for dinner tonight.  He had no idea what hit him.

Cheesy Smashed Potatoes

1    lb. red potatoes, cut into chunks (with skins on)
1    cup cauliflower florets
1/4 cup light sour cream
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt to taste

Place potatoes and cauliflower in large saucepan.  Add enough water to cover.
Bring to boil over high heat.  Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender.  Drain.
Add sour cream and mash until vegetable mixture is light and fluffy.  Stir in cheese.

Makes 6 servings, 1/2 cup each.
