Description

Deliciously creamy mashed potatoes enhanced with fresh broccoli and cheddar cheese, perfect as a side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Idaho® potatoes, peeled and cubed (roughly 2 large potatoes)
  • 3 whole garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1/2 cup (4 ounces) unsalted butter, softened and cut into 8 pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped fresh broccoli
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add the potatoes and garlic cloves. Cook until soft but not overdone, roughly 12-15 minutes. Drain.
  2. In a large mixing bowl (or by hand with a potato masher), beat the cooked potatoes until mashed and smooth (do not overbeat).
  3. Beat in the butter and salt until completely incorporated then slowly beat in the milk.
  4. Stir in the broccoli and cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Using fresh Idaho® potatoes gives the best texture.
  • For a creamier texture, adjust the amount of milk.
