Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
In a large pot, place the potato, garlic, and cauliflower. Fill with enough water to fully cover everything. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the potato and cauliflower are tender, about 15 minutes.
-
Drain and add the vegetables and garlic back to the pot. Cover the pot with a kitchen towel and put the lid over the towel. Let stand for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and towel. This process helps to dry the vegetables so they mash better.
-
Add the buttermilk, cheese, olive oil, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash just until the ingredients are lightly combined. If desired, garnish with fresh snipped chives.
