Mashed cauliflower

Mashed cauliflower

Ingredients

2 medium heads cauliflower, florets removed

6 oz. cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup milk

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Freshly chopped chives, for garnish

Butter, for serving

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets and cook until tender, 10 minutes. Drain well, pressing with paper towels or a clean dish towel to remove as much excess water as possible.

Return to pot and mash cauliflower with a potato masher until smooth and no large chunks remain.

Stir in cream cheese and milk and season with salt and pepper and mash until completely combined and creamy. (Add a couple tablespoons more milk until you reach desired consistency.)

Garnish with chives, season with more pepper, and top with a pat of butter
