Potato And Cauliflower Mash (Make Ahead)
Report
Mash made with delicious roasted cauliflower and potatoes and cheese. These are the best mashed potatoes I've ever tasted!

Ingredients
- 1 medium cauliflower cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for roasting)
- 1 medium potato peeled and chopped into small chunks.
- 4 tablespoons grated cheese (or 1 handful - any strong cheese e.g. strong cheddar)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ⅓ cup milk
- 2 thyme sprigs (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- salt & black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220C/420F.
- Spread the cauliflower out on a baking tray in one layer and drizzle with the olive oil. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden and almost caramelised.
- At the same time, boil the potato chunks until they are soft (about 15 minutes). Also warm the milk in a small saucepan with one of the thyme sprigs or the dried thyme.
- Put aside a small handful of the roasted cauliflower florets. Then put the rest into the bowl of a food processor and blend with a bit of the warm milk (thyme sprig removed!).
- Add the potato, butter, cheese and as much of the rest of the milk as you need to blend to a smooth puree.
- Finally, grind in plenty of salt and pepper and blend for a couple more seconds.
- Scrape the mash into a nice serving dish. Top with the reserved cauliflower florets, a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves (if using fresh) and a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes
- Got an air fryer? Check out this recipe for air fryer cauliflower if you'd like to make roasting the cauliflower slightly quicker and easier.
- If you cover your finished dish of mash, it keeps warm in the oven really well until you’re ready to eat.
- You can even make it up to 3 days before and take it along to a party/event. Just warm it through in a microwave just before serving (try 3.5 minutes at 80% power).
- This is ‘cheesy’ enough for us, but go ahead and add more cheese if you want your mash to be super cheesy.
- Alternatively, swap the 4 tablespoons of ordinary grated cheese e.g. cheddar for something stronger like parmesan. I'd use just 2 tablespoons of parmesan, though.
- To make this cauliflower mash vegan, you can even skip the cheese and butter altogether and just add a big drizzle of olive oil instead. Yum!
- I sometimes serve this with sausages, vegetables (fresh or frozen) and gravy. It's also great with grilled or roasted meats or fish, a casserole, or any other dish you'd usually serve mashed potatoes with.
