Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for mashed potatoes, as they are starchy and have a fluffy texture.
  • Cook the potatoes thoroughly: The potatoes should be cooked until they are easily pierced with a fork. This will ensure that they are mashed smoothly.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese will give the mashed potatoes a rich and flavorful taste.
  • Add herbs and spices to taste: Experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme.
  • Don't overmix the potatoes: Overmixing the potatoes will make them gluey. Mash them until they are just combined.

Conclusion:

Herbed broccoli mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The addition of broccoli adds a pop of color and nutrition. These mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
