Surprise, surprise: Cauliflower replaces nearly all of the usual potatoes and butter in these calorie-friendly mashed spuds that are ready in just 25 minutes. Yukon gold potatoes are a richly flavoured, yellow-fleshed variety that add traditional flavour and texture in this lightened twist on mashed potatoes. In addition to chives, you can incorporate other fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and oregano, or stir in cayenne pepper with cumin and paprika for a dish with a Southwestern flavour. Mash the mixture to your desired consistency, mashing less for a side dish with more texture or longer for a smooth option.
