BROCCOLI AND CHEESE SMASHED POTATOES
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.

Steps:
- Boil potatoes until tender, 15 minutes. While the water boils and when the potatoes are cooking, you can be working on the meatloaf recipe. When the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the hot pot to let them dry out a bit. Mash potatoes with half-and-half or milk using a potato masher. Add in the cream cheese and smash until the cheese melts into the potatoes. Then add chives and scallions and season with salt and pepper, to your taste.
Tips:
- For the best results, use a combination of Yukon Gold and russet potatoes. Yukon Golds are creamy and smooth, while russets are starchy and hold their shape well.
- Be careful not to overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still slightly firm.
- Use a potato ricer to get the smoothest, creamiest mashed potatoes.
- Add the cheese to the potatoes while they are still hot so that it melts and combines evenly.
- Season the potatoes to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Garnish the potatoes with chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or cilantro.
Conclusion:
Cheese smashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor. Plus, they are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give cheese smashed potatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
