We had it so added proscuitto diced when we sauteed’ the mushrooms and onions and added 4 finely minced (or grated) cloves – wonderful on cauliflower (potato).

good just like it was. (except did not have a yellow pepper). I think the balsalmic vinaigrette really spiced it up. will definitely make again, maybe trying to increase the tomato/mushroom/pepper sauce since it was good to also top the mashed potatoes with. plus fresh basil! Yum!!!

It was healthy, filling, better if it wasn’t so runny. Next time drain the tomatoes. We did not use green pepper.

This was so delicious! I don’t like cauliflower, so I used all red potatoes. I also found they needed some cream because my family likes creamy potatoes. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. I’m making this again today.
