Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower , trimmed to florets only
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- chives , minced
Instructions
- Line a large saucepan or Dutch oven with a steamer basket. Fill the pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a low boil.
- Add the cauliflower florets and cover the pot, allowing them to steam for 15-20 minutes or until nearly falling apart.
- Carefully remove the steamer basket and transfer the cauliflower to a large mixing bowl. Add the butter, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), Kosher salt and black pepper. Mash with a potato masher. If you want smoother, whipped cauliflower, use a ricer or the food processor.
- Cauliflower can be watery, heat on low, stirring continuously to evaporate remaining water, if needed.
- Top your cauliflower mashed potatoes with ground black pepper and chives.
