Leftover Potatoes and Broccoli
Loading ...Sometimes there's too much of one leftover. Do you get that occasionally? Last week's Christmas party left us with a bit too much mashed potatoes to eat. I started our nights of leftovers with this recipe. It's so super simple, I almost didn't post it. However, it was tasty, comforting, nutritious, and my kids ate it up. Therefore, it qualifies for a posting.
HERE'S ALL YOU NEED TO DO
- leftover mashed potatoes
- sour cream
- shredded cheese
- fresh broccoli florets
In a small salad bowl, line bowl with mashed potatoes, leaving a well in the center. Coat the well with about 2-3 tablespoons of sour cream. Fill well with 1/4 cup of cheese, then poke in broccoli. Season with salt & pepper (See picture above) Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 3-4 minutes, or until broccoli is at desired tenderness. Allow to stand 1-2 minutes before serving.

We had this for dinner last night. It was very easy to fix and everyone (that loves Broccoli) loved it. The sour cream gave this dish a wonderful taste.

Great site! I was wondering, is there a substitute for the sour cream?
