Smashed Potatoes and Broccoli

Ingredients:

2 lbs. large baking potatoes, quartered
2 broccoli heads (or 1 bag frozen chopped broccoli)
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. heavy cream
1/2 stick margarine
salt and pepper

Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Add the broccoli to the boiling potatoes and cook another 7 minutes. Drain and put back into the pot. In a small saucepan, heat the milk, cream and margarine. Pour this mixture into the potatoes and broccoli, mash together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

This is a tasty alternative to plain mashed potatoes. My husband saw this side dish whipped up on the Food Network and we found the recipe online.
