I scaled this back to serve two and we just loved this dish. Interestingly low-fat milk (or cream) seems not to compromise flavour in any way, whereas low-fat cheese (in my opinion) is tasteless. So I was really glad that this recipe used regular cheese! I added a generous pinch of cumin in step two and some garlic salt. Fabulously flavoursome: thanks for sharing this recipe, ~Jen~.

I cut this recipe in half for just 2 of us! Also did not peel the potatoes since I like eating the skin! Instead, I steamed both veggies & then diced the potato & broccoli before mashing! The cheese & broccoli gave the potatoes a great flavor! A keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Healthy Choices ABC cooking game]
