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
- 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.

- Beat in the butter and salt until completely incorporated then slowly beat in the milk.
- 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.
