I hope by using the recipes on this site you have learned to be flexible when it comes to cooking. Sometimes we just don't have everything we need. That's how this recipe for cauliflower sweet potato mash was born. I didn't have quite enough cauliflower or white potatoes for my usual cauliflower mash and decided to try this combo with sweet potatoes instead.
The combination of cauliflower and sweet potatoes was divine! This is another easy and quick recipe. I usually have both sweet potatoes and regular potatoes on hand. Sweet potatoes, particularly, have excellent nutrition and fiber. Regular potatoes aren't bad, either.
Add a few more plant-based side options to your meals:
- Butternut Squash, Brussels Sprouts, Apple Stuffing
- Glazed Radishes
- Mashed Cauliflower with Gravy
- Mushroom Quinoa Pilaf
- Scalloped Potato and Cabbage Casserole
If you want to kick up the flavor even more, you can roast both the cauliflower and sweet potatoes to bring out their sweetness. Try to cut the pieces in about the same size and they will roast evenly. You can place them on parchment paper or spray your pan with a little oil. Make sure they don't burn.
If you don't like the idea of using unsweetened non-dairy milk, you could use vegetable broth instead.

Are you sure you meant 12 c. milk?
Maybe you really meant 1/2/c.
Ooops, yep I meant 1/2 cup. Thanks for pointing that out 🙂
Hi, what’s the serving size?
Thank You
Serving size is always one of the hardest things to figure on some recipes. Some food blogger say 1/8 of the recipe, but that doesn’t really give you want you want, I’m assuming. This recipe is for 1/2 of a cup. I hope that helps. I recalculated the nutrition label and had to adjust it upward on calories to 43 which is still great.
