Mash Potatoes with mixed vegetables

On thanksgiving dinner, I'm supposed to prepare mash potatoe with vegetables. Initially, it made me worry since I've never really tried making this dish from scratch, what more with vegetables. After sourcing around for recipes, I kinda combined 3 into 1 :)


Potatoe- 2 pounds butter-1 stick milk-1/2 cup mushroom- 1 pound salt & pepper cheese- ½ cup cauliflower- 1 oil- 4tbsp

1) Remove blemishes and scrub potatoes. Slice the potatoes into quarters and place in a large sauce pan. Add water to pan until potatoes are covered. Bring to a boil.

2) Reduce heat, cover and continue cooking 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Remove from heat, drain and peel off skins.

3) Place potatoes in a large bowl. Add butter and cheese and beat with an electric mixer. Gradually add the milk, continuing to beat potatoes until they reach desired consistency. Add more milk, if needed and salt and pepper to taste.

4) Preheat oven to 200deg c. Spread cauliflower pieces on baking sheet. Sprinkle with about 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle with rosemary, salt and pepper.

5) Bake in oven 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and tender.

6) Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

7) Add mushroom and sauté until soft, stirring.

8) Stir mushrooms into potatoes.

9) Place in serving bowl and sprinkle with fresh Parmesan cheese.

End results (I know, my skills are not very good)

I suggest going light on the cheese because mine was commented to be too cheesy and hard to down.
