Ingredients

  • 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes diced (peeled, if desired)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (roughly chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (or olive oil)
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes into a medium-large pot and cover with 2 inches of cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until almost tender, about 6 minutes.
  • Add the broccoli, stir, and simmer until the broccoli and the potatoes are cooked through and soft (but not mushy), about 4 minutes more.
  • Drain in a colander.
  • Add the butter, sour cream, and salt. Mash with a potato masher, making the mixture as chunky or smooth as you like.

Notes

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. Reheat to serve.
  • Use cauliflower instead of broccoli if desired.
  • Dairy-free: Use olive oil instead of butter and omit the sour cream.
