1 head of cauliflower

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons light sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

Directions:
1. Separate the cauliflower into florets and chop the core finely.
2. Bring about 1 cup of water to a simmer in a pot, then add the cauliflower.(you can also steam) Cover and turn the heat to medium. Cook the cauliflower for 12-15 minutes or until very tender.
3. Drain and discard all of the water (the drier the cauliflower is, the better) and add the milk, butter, sour cream, salt and pepper and mash with a masher until it looks like “mashed potatoes.” (you can use a Cuisinart or an immersion blender) Top with chives.
