BROCCOLI MASHED POTATOES



Broccoli Mashed Potatoes image

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces tiny whole new potatoes
8 ounces whole onion or 7 ounces chopped ready-cut onion (1 2/3 cups)
2 teaspoons canola oil
8 ounces whole broccoli (1 large stalk)
3 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Scrub potatoes; do not peel. Cover with water, and boil in a covered pot until done, about 20 minutes. (If you cannot find tiny new potatoes, buy larger ones and cut them up.)
  • Chop whole onions. Saute the onions in hot canola oil in a nonstick pan until they soften and start to brown.
  • Wash the broccoli. Trim off about 1/3 of the stem and discard. Slice the remaining stem into rounds 1/4 inch thick, and cut the florets into small chunks. Six to 8 minutes before the potatoes are done, add the broccoli to the potatoes, and continue cooking until done. Drain.
  • Put the sour cream, onions, broccoli and potatoes into a food processor, and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
