Green mashed taters

This sounds like a good way to get veggies into kids---or adults who don't like them. It's very sneaky, also good for St Paddy's day. 6 servings. :biggrin-new:

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins

Total Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

1 pounds potato, yukon gold
3/4 pounds broccoli
3/4 cup(s) cheese, fontina
1/2 cup(s) milk, fat-free
1/2 teaspoon salt
pepper, black ground
Preparation

1. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large pot. Place potatoes in a steamer basket and steam for 10 minutes.

2. Place broccoli on top, cover and steam until the potatoes and broccoli are tender, 6 to 8 minutes more.

3. Transfer the broccoli to a large bowl and coarsely mash with a potato masher.

4. Add the potatoes, cheese, milk, salt and pepper and continue mashing to desired consistency. Serve immediately.

Big deal; you can get kids (and dads) to eat anything that has enough cheese on it. There's no trick to that. :biggrin-new:

That sounds delicious! Next to a steak of course.

You could even use boiled cauliflower in place of the potatoes for even more veggie goodness. This forum is making me hungry.
