Mashed Cauliflowers (with Potato)

I love potatoes. (Who doesnt?) It's the ultimate comfort food and you cant go wrong with it- boiled, baked, fried, roasted, sauteed- anything works!

Last evening we had a head of cauliflower at home that was almost past it's shelf life. But my stomach called for potatoes. Hmm, what to do? So I came up with this concoction- telling myself it's more nutritous than just potatoes. The ricotta cheese (also almost past its shelf life in my fridge) adds some much needed protein to this dish.

Serves 4

2 medium potatoes, peeled and washed
2 cups of cauliflower florets, cut and washed
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp tumeric powder
Salt to taste
Fresh cracked black pepper
2 spring onions, finely chopped

Boil the potatoes and cauliflower in salted water for about 20 minutes or until very soft
Mash and whip the potatoes with the cheese, garlic powder, tumeric, salt and black pepper until creamy(Use a hand blender or mixer to do this)
If you like a more creamy texture, add some milk and whip at this point.
Before serving mix in the spring onions.
