I didn't add any milk to it because my boyfriend isn't a big dairy person, and I added some. It's really freakin' good, but it's also fairly flat. It lacks the starchiness of mashed potatoes, it lacks the heft! In playing with alternative options I have found that parsnips and roasted garlic are the magic combination to take cauliflower mash to another level. Cauliflower and parsnip combined with milk and butter make a great alternative to traditional mashed potato.
