Ingredients

  • 4-5 red potatoes 
  • 1 teaspoon salt for water
  • 1 head broccoli
  • ½ cup milk I use half and half
  • 1 tablespoons butter
  • 1-1.5 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
  • Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  • Cut the potatoes into equal pieces and add to a large pot. Add a couple extra inches of water to the pot, so when you add the broccoli everything will be covered. Add a teaspoon of salt; cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the potatoes for 10 minutes. 
  • While the potatoes are cooking trim and chop broccoli into ½-inch pieces (stalk and all).
  • Add the broccoli to the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes more. Drain and return to the hot pot to dry.
  • Stir in the milk, butter and cheese and mash until the cheese melts into potatoes and broccoli. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
