Ingredients

• 1 cup potatoes
• 3 cups cauliflower
• 1 tablespoon margarine
• 1/4 cup half & half
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

1. Peel potato and cut into small cubes. Soak or double-boil to reduce potassium if you are on a low potassium diet (see helpful hints below). 
2. In a medium-size pot, boil cauliflower and potatoes for 25 minutes.  Drain and place in food processor or mixing bowl.
3. Add margarine, half & half and salt (optional).  Process or mix on high speed until smooth.  Serve hot. 

Helpful hints

• Potatoes are very high in potassium but you can remove part of the potassium by using one of these methods:
• Double cook method: Peel and dice potatoes. Place in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Drain the water and add fresh water to the pot. Bring to a boil, cook for 10 minutes then drain and set aside.
• Leaching method:  Peel and dice potatoes. Place in a large pot of warm tap water and soak for 2 to 4 hours. Drain and set aside.
• Skip step # 1 if you are not on a low potassium diet.
• Omit salt if adding other sodium containing toppings such as gravy, salted butter, etc.  Sodium content per portion is 37 milligrams prepared without salt.
• Frozen cauliflower can be substituted for fresh.
• Freeze extra portions for later meal.  Reheat in microwave.
