Mashed potatoes are a must have at all of our Thanksgiving celebrations and our Pot Luck Thanksgiving was no exception, but these have a little twist that surprised everyone.

Make sure and check back often to get these recipes very soon…

Pot Luck Fun

One of the best parts of a Pot Luck dinner is never really knowing what is going to be coming through the door. And while this is a Thanksgiving Pot Luck I did have a pretty good idea of what to expect my Sis-in-Law really surprised me.

She said she was bringing the mashed potatoes and I LOVE mashed potatoes so I was super excited. Only she told me a secret…there is cauliflower in the mashed potatoes.

The Cauliflower Bandwagon

Yep my sweet sis-in-law decided to jump head first into the cauliflower bandwagon and decided to “secretly” make Potato & Cauliflower Mash. The trick is she didn’t tell ANYONE, other than me, that these are not your traditional mashed potatoes.

The beauty is they look just like your regular run of the mill mashed potato..I mean look at the picture. Would you ever guess there is a veggie hiding in there? I didn’t. They are fluffy, light and seasoned to perfection with just a hint of butter. She also left on some skins to give it some great texture.

The Taste Test

Being that we didn’t tell anyone before dinner we decided to get everyones feedback and then let the cat out of the bag. So everyone went through the line and filled up their plates. All you could hear were “yumms” and “wow everything is so good”. So after everyone had their fill, we decided to let the cat out of the bag.

Well lets just say no one could believe they had just had a Potato & Cauliflower Mash. Everyone thought they were traditional mashed potatoes. Even the pickiest of eaters… LOVED them!!

See look at their faces…

They not only loved the mashed potatoes but they also loved everything else as well. Even my niece Audra loved them…I mean how cute is she! I could eat her with a spoon!!

Just trust me & The Sis-In-Law
