Print Recipe

This creamy broccoli potatoes dish combines tender broccoli and buttery soft potatoes in a deliciously rich sauce. It’s a comforting and satisfying meal that will warm your heart and soul.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 600 g potatoes (peeled and cut into even pieces)
  • 300 g broccoli (cut into florets)
  • 200 ml cream
  • 100 g grated cheese (e.g. cheddar or gouda)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 1 pinch salt (to taste)
  • 1 pinch pepper (to taste)
  • 1 pinch nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into even pieces of about 2-3 cm.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the broccoli florets and blanch for 3 minutes.
  4. Rinse the broccoli florets with cold water to stop the cooking process and preserve the color.
  5. In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and chopped garlic and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. In a separate pot, cook the potato pieces in boiling water for 15-20 minutes until they can be easily pierced with a fork but are not falling apart.
  7. Drain the potatoes and let them dry to remove excess moisture.
  8. In a large bowl, mix the cream, grated cheese, sautéed onions, and garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. The mixture should be creamy and well-seasoned.
  9. Combine the drained potatoes and blanched broccoli in a large baking dish, ensuring the vegetables are evenly distributed.
  10. Pour the cream and cheese mixture evenly over the potatoes and broccoli, ensuring everything is well coated.
  11. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake at 180°C for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't burn.
  12. Remove the creamy broccoli potatoes from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
