Healthy Mashed Potatoes

Cauliflower is on sale at Market on Yates, so why not mix it up and make healthy mashed potatoes. I have chives growing, so used them in the recipe, but you could use other herbs for flavour. If you have the purple tops, you can also add them for colour and flavour. I served this dish with soy, maple and lemon grilled tofu (the tofu I got on sale at Thrifty Foods).
