what's cooking wednesday - cheesy smashed potatoes

I know I've gotten in the habit of posting my What's Cooking Wednesday post so it's ready first thing Wednesday morning, but I'm afraid I'm still in holiday mode. I'm hoping it will all be back on track for next Wednesday.



Cheesy Smashed Potatoes

1 lb red potaotes ( about 3 small potatoes) cut into chunks
1 cup bite sized cauliflower florets
1/4 cup light sour cream
1 cup Kraft Double Cheddar shreds, light

Place potatoes and cauliflower in a large saucepan. Add enough water to cover.

Bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Drain; return to pan.

Add sour cream; mash until vegetable mixture is light and fluffy. Stir in cheese.

Recipe Notes: the only additions made by me were some fresh ground pepper before I mashed it up. It was a nice way to sneak some more veggies into our meal. It was a nice substitute to plain mashed potatoes. Mike and I both really enjoyed it. Abby did try some, but didn't care for it. Maya was content to eat grated cheese dipped in ketchup. Maybe one of these days we'll all enjoy the same meal.


What is What's Cooking Wednesday and how can I play?

What's cooking Wednesday was born out of a desire to get out of that what's for dinner rut. Playing is easy, on Wednesday post a recipe that has been tried and tested by you and then pop over here and add your name to the Mr. Linky. When entering your name also add the name of the recipe in brackets and make sure you link to your What's Cooking Wednesday post and not just your blog's front page.

So for example I would write Shan (Speedy Chicken Stir Fry) in the name section. For the URL section I would post this: http://shanrev.blogspot.com/2007/10/whats-cooking-wednesday-speedy-chicken.html

I'll let you in on a little secret. Much to Kaffy's chagrin, my WCW recipes are almost never made on a Wednesday. So feel free to cook and photograph whenever you have time and join us posting on Wednesday.
