Instructions
- Boil Cauliflower: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 10 to 12 minutes until very tender, then drain well and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the mash and adjust salt and pepper as needed to suit your preference.

Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and sour cream with olive oil and unsweetened non-dairy yogurt.
- If the mash is too thin, stir in a tablespoon of cream cheese or some mashed potatoes to thicken.
