A Top Chef Side Dish...

I have made this a few times and it is a nice and easy take on mashed potatoes. It's definitely a winter/holiday dish.
Cauliflower and Fingerling Smash
3 cups fingerling potatoes, sliced, half-inch rounds (or small white potatoes)
3 cups cauliflower florets, medium-bite size
Milk (enough to cover)
1/2 cup chevre ~ goat cheese or cream cheese if you are a goat cheese hater!
1/2 cup chopped dried cherries...dried cranberries would also work
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped fine (80/20...did not have this and is not really necessary, except for some color.)
Salt and pepper to taste

Top Chef Finale


Okay..I am psyched that Stephanie won, although I would have also been happy for Richard. I defintely thought Lisa was a 1st class pain in the ass, who I wouldn't want in my office/kitchen/etc. Then...I found out Stephanie graduated from none other than the UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN...AHHH!!!!
Okay, I can get past that...she was actually quite nice and certainly not arrogant. Imagine that?!
