BROCCOLI AND CHEESE SMASHED POTATOES



Broccoli and Cheese Smashed Potatoes image

This is a Rachel Ray recipe I found on foodnetwork.com. Haven't tried it myself yet, but it sounds delish! Several reviewers advised they used different flavored cheeses with good results, so experiment with what you have. Also be advised this is a dish best eaten the same day it is prepared, as the broccoli tends to get mushy and strong-flavored after day one.
