Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 shallot minced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 head cauliflower cut into small florets
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- 1 5.2 ounce package garlic herb cheese, crumbled
- ½ cup half and half
- ¼ cup chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Lightly coat the inside of a 4-qt slow cooker with nonstick spray. Place potatoes, shallot, garlic and butter into the slow cooker; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Without stirring, top with cauliflower and vegetable stock.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or until tender.
- Remove potato mixture from the slow cooker and drain excess liquid before returning to the pot. Stir in garlic herb cheese and half and half.
- Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, blend potatoes and cauliflower until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more half and half as needed until desired consistency is reached. Stir in chives; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
