Cheesy Broccoli-Potato Mash

Since our kitchen has been overflowing with sweet baked goods these last few weeks, we were craving something that was on the completely opposite end of the spectrum.


We had both potatoes and broccoli in our fridge that needed to be used, so I found this delicious side dish recipe on eatingwell.com, and modified it based on what we had available at home.


This turned out wonderfully! It was easily our favourite part of supper that night.


If you are looking for a quick and easy side dish that can go with almost any main course, give this a shot.
