Add some color to your mashed potatoes by adding some broccoli to the mix. We love the flavor of fontina cheese paired with broccoli, but any creamy cheese that melts well will work.

I liked the way that you could really taste both the broccoli and the potato, shining through on their own and not buried in the bit of cheese.

Best side dish I've ever made! There wasn't a drop left. A great way to jazz up broccoli. The cheese was tasty. I wouldn't change a think about the recipe!
