Sour Cream and Cheddar Cauliflower Mash

  
Ok this one is absolutely decadent. Cauliflower mash is already wonderful as it is, but cheesy and creamy cauliflower mash like this is mind-blowingly good. Most people are really surprised when they have cauliflower mash because there isn’t the weird and slightly pungent smell of fresh cauliflower. I happen to think it is better than regular potato mash – there is a kind of silky goodness about cauliflower mash with slightly sweet overtones. 

I actually had a dinner for more than 20 people and doubled this recipe. There were some leftovers but I happily turned the left-over roast beef, turkey gravy and cauliflower mash into a meat and mash pie the day after. Another score!
