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.

Tips:

- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for smashing, as they have a fluffy texture and hold their shape well. - Don't overcook the potatoes: Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still slightly firm, as they will continue to cook in the oven. - Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen broccoli. - Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure there is enough space between the potatoes and broccoli so that they can roast evenly. - Season generously: Season the potatoes and broccoli with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before roasting. You can also add other seasonings, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika. - Serve immediately: Smashed potatoes and broccoli are best served immediately after roasting, while they are still hot and crispy. ###
