Notes
Be gentle when stirring and don’t overcook. This will aid in avoiding a mushy consistency.
Bake cauliflower florets and potatoes in an oven (325°F for 10 minutes) or air fryer before cooking if a more crunchy texture is desired.
If contents begin to burn before the cauliflower is added, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of water onto the mixture.
