Cajun Mashed Potatoes and Cauliflower
Report
With Cajun seasoning, mashed potatoes and cauliflower make a delicious side dish to enjoy anytime! Fluffy and lighter than regular mashed potatoes, it's extra creamy and delicious thanks to plain yogurt.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potato peeled and cut 1-inch thick, or gold potatoes
- 1 small head cauliflower cored and cut into large, equal-size florets
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1¼ teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika optional
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 cup plant-based yogurt tap for cashew yogurt recipe, plain and unsweetened
- salt fine sea salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and set a timer for 5 minutes. By the end of 5 minutes the water should have returned to a boil. Maintain a low-boil, add the cauliflower florets, and cook until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. This may vary depending on the size of the florets and potatoes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cauliflower to a large food processor (if the potatoes are also tender, turn off the heat and let them stand in the hot water while you puree the cauliflower). Add ¼ teaspoon salt, and process until smooth and creamy. Set cauliflower aside.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and immediately return them to the pot. Add the nutritional yeast, garlic, paprika, cayenne, thyme, ½ teaspoon salt and several turns of freshly ground black pepper. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until mostly broken down. Add about ¾ cup yogurt and mash until smooth.
- Stir the cauliflower puree into the potatoes. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more yogurt, salt, pepper, and/or cayenne, to taste. Serve hot. Allow leftovers to cool before storing in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Storage
- Leftover cauliflower and potato mash re-heats very well. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freezer friendly.
