Loaded Baked Potato and Cauliflower Mash or Soup

Posted 2018-04-06 by finy ⇒ follow

I started off wanting to make a soup in the slow cooker, however, I made a mistake in the amount of liquid I put in, and this then turned out to be a potato and cauliflower mash which I ate with something else.

I was going to make a topping but did not as ran out of time, however I have given the directions for this anyway.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 4 hours
Serves: 6

Ingredients
6 large potatoes, peeled, and cut into cubes
½ cauliflower, cut into florets
1 large onion, chopped

2 tsp salt
1 cup cream
1 cup cheese, grated
Chives
For the topping
1 cup sour cream - optional
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Extra cheese for sprinkling on top

Mix the potatoes, cauliflower, onion, chicken broth, garlic, butter salt and some pepper in a large slow cooker.
