Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cauliflower:
   • Cut the cauliflower into florets.
   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well.
2. Cook the Leeks:
   • While the cauliflower is cooking, heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the sliced leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and beginning to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from heat.
3. Mash the Cauliflower:
   • Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a large mixing bowl or food processor.
   • Use an immersion blender, or blend in batches in a food processor, until smooth. You may need to add a bit of the heavy cream to help with blending.
4. Combine Ingredients:
   • Stir the cooked leeks and garlic into the cauliflower mash.
   • Gradually mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and combined.
   • Add heavy cream to reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Serve:
   • Transfer the mash to a serving bowl.
   • Garnish with chopped chives if desired.
