I love making casseroles for side dishes, especially when it involves cheese and crunchy topping, and yes this has both. Cauliflower was one of those vegetables that my mother-in-law cooked but nothing exciting. The usual simmer then toss with olive oil, salt and garlic, don’t get me wrong veggies are always good this way but a hearty comfort casserole is good once in awhile also. And they agreed, they absolutely loved my Broccoli Cheese Bake.

How to make it

In a small bowl mix together the bread crumbs, chopped fresh parsley and melted butter, set aside.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, first cook the potatoes then add the cauliflower. Cook until al dente, then drain well. Place the drained veggies in a large bowl and lightly mash with a fork a few times.

What to serve with it

This is the perfect side dish for Thanksgiving, Christmas or even a family or friend get together. I like to serve it with a roast, pork or beef or even with a fish dish. It basically goes with almost everything.

How to store it

Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. It will keep for up to 2-3 days. It can be reheated either in a microwave, on the stove or in a low oven.

The best potatoes for baking

The best potatoes for baking in a casserole or even scalloped potatoes are Yukon or a Russet potatoes.
