LOVE this! Derf, another winner : ) I used olive oil instead of butter and didn't realize I didn't have any nutmeg until it was too late. I had to google what you can use in place of nutmeg. Turns out not much! I ended up using tiny (and I mean tiny!) pinches of allspice, coriander, cinnamon, black pepper and a clove. I let the potatoes cook for awhile before adding the broccoli. I thought the amount of broccoli looked like alot, but it was just perfect. This is so healthy and so yummy! Thanks Derf!
