How to make cauliflower mashed potato? 

Peel and cut the potatoes, cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in the steam cooker. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the vegetables for 15-20 minutes until they are soft. Then take the potatoes and cauliflower to a larger bowl or pot. Add garlic and onion powder and a little salt if desired. Puree the vegetables using a potato masher, hand blender or food processor.
