Ingredients

5.3 oz Broccoli florets
12.3 oz Potatoes, peeled and cubed
7 fl oz Milk of choice
0.35 oz Unsalted butter
1 oz Grated Parmesan cheese
150g Broccoli florets
350g Potatoes, peeled and cubed
200ml Milk of choice
10g Unsalted butter
30g Grated Parmesan cheese

Recipe Tips

You can use breastmilk, formula, or a plant-based milk if preferred

Parmesan adds a savoury touch, but the mash is delicious even without it

Dairy-free butter and cheese alternatives can be used for a dairy free version

Method

  • 1
    Place the potatoes, broccoli, and milk into a medium pot and bring to a boil
  • 2
    Simmer until cooked through and soft, about 20 minutes (add more milk if needed)
  • 3
    Remove from heat and mash with a potato masher
  • 4
    Add the butter and Parmesan if using, then stir well
  • 5
    Serve and Buon appetito!

    • Storage

    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days

    Freeze for up to 2 months

    Thaw frozen mash overnight in the fridge then reheat gently in a pan or microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed to loosen
