1/2 cup whole milk |
1/2 cup heavy cream (or half and half) |
1/4 cup butter (you can use smart balance margarine) |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until very tender; about 20 minutes. Cut the florets off the broccoli and add to boiling potatoes, till soft, about 7 minutes. Drain and transfer back into pot.
2. Heat the milk, cream, and butter in a small saucepan. Pour sauce into the potatoes and broccoli, mash together.
3. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
