BROCCOLI AND CHEESE SMASHED POTATOES



Broccoli and Cheese Smashed Potatoes image

This is a Rachel Ray recipe I found on foodnetwork.com. Haven't tried it myself yet, but it sounds delish! Several reviewers advised they used different flavored cheeses with good results, so experiment with what you have. Also be advised this is a dish best eaten the same day it is prepared, as the broccoli tends to get mushy and strong-flavored after day one.

Yield 4 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lbs potatoes (Yukon Gold recommended)
1 head broccoli
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Halve the potatoes and add to a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the potatoes for 10 minutes while you trim and chop broccoli into 1/2-inch dice. Add the broccoli to the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for this recipe because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and fluffy when mashed.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are very tender: This will make them easier to mash and will help them absorb the cheese sauce better.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese: A sharp cheddar will give the mashed potatoes a more flavorful taste.
  • Add-ins: Feel free to add other ingredients to your mashed potatoes, such as cooked bacon, diced onions, or chopped herbs.
  • Serve immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Broccoli and cheese smashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor. Plus, they are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables!
