Broccoli Cauliflower “Mashed Potatoes”
A Healthy Alternative To Mashed Potatoes
Have you tried cauliflower “mashed potatoes”? While cauliflower mashed potatoes have become a popular alternative to potatoes, cauliflower mashers are not our family’s favorite side dish. About a year ago while doing a Whole30 diet, we came up with our own alternative to mashed potatoes. We made Broccoli Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes. The result? One of our family’s favorite side dishes.

Broccoli Cauliflower “Mashed Potatoes”
I actually have to give credit to our daughter for this recipe. Just like her mom and dad, she loves to cook in the kitchen. My husband was the one who decided to mix broccoli and cauliflower together to make “broccoli cauliflower mashers.” When my daughter tried it, she said “it’s missing something.” She told my husband that he needed to add lime juice to the recipe to make it taste better… And you know what? She was right!
Because we made this recipe while doing a Whole30 diet, we chose ingredients that were part of the approved diet. For example, we did not add any cream to the original recipe. Occasionally when we make this recipe, we will now add 1/4 cup of sour cream to the recipe. This makes for a creamer broccoli cauliflower mashed potatoes recipe. In our recipe, we also use Ghee butter to mix the broccoli and cauliflower. You can easily substitute regular butter in this recipe if you don’t have Ghee butter on hand.
In our family we love to serve this Broccoli Cauliflower recipe with either grilled chicken or steak. What meal would you pair this recipe with?
