How to Make Easy Half-Mashed Potatoes with Cauliflower

We replaced half the potatoes with cauliflower for a lower carb, diabetes-friendly version of classic mashed potatoes. Leaving the skin on the potatoes adds additional fiber and nutrients. Pair this side dish with Roast Beef with Creamy Horseradish Sauce for a comforting meat-and-potatoes meal that fits in any diabetes or heart-healthy meal plan!

These were delicious I didn't even notice cauliflower was in there because all I tasted was potato. I added chives but I'm pretty sure you can get creative and add roasted garlic or maybe even herbs?
