While my sister visited, she requested honey-lime crockpot chicken, and of course, I obliged. Thus, I was looking for a good side dish when I came across this recipe from Patrick and Gina Neely. Perfect -- they are this week's Food Network Challenge Chefs! And, their potatoes were great!
Broccoli Smashed Potatoes - Adapted from the Neely's
{Print Recipe}
1 lb. potatoes
1 broccoli head, chopped, (~3 C)
1/4 C milk
1/4 C cream
2-4 T butter, as desired
salt and pepper to taste
Wash, peel and cube the potatoes - done by my precious little sister!
Then, boil in salted water until tender.
About 5 minutes before potatoes are done, add in the broccoli.
Drain the water from the broccoli and potatoes.
Return the broccoli and potatoes to the pan.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Then, stir in the milk and cream.
Pour this mixture onto the potatoes and broccoli.
Use a potato masher to mash up the potatoes.
Season with salt and pepper.
Enjoy!

BOTH of these recipes sound yummy and since I'm heading to the store for food today, I'm writing them down to add to this week's menu. :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYum! I've never thought of putting broccoli in with mashed potatoes, but that sure looks good! I'll have to remember this for the next time I make mashed taters. :)

ReplyDeleteThis looks great! When I studied abroad in college, the dining hall at our university always made a mix of mashed potatoes/carrots and it was really good. I had never even considered mixing a veggie in before that!
ReplyDeleteooo those look amazing! we tried califlower, i might have to try broccoli yet!
ReplyDeleteMy brother used to mix peas in with his mashed potatoes and I thought he totally ruined the potatoes! Broccoli is a different story though. Those potatoes look good.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to sneak in more vitamins to one of their favorites!
ReplyDeleteLooks good! Can I smother them in sharp cheddar? It took me a long time to figure out what was in the pot with the potatoes and broccoli.....it's the overhead light. Hmmmm....long day :)
