Broccoli Mashed Potatoes

2 small baking potatoes (½ lb.), scrubbed, unpeeled and quartered

1 ½ cups frozen broccoli, thawed

1 medium onion, chopped

2 Tbsp. non-fat cream cheese (from 8-oz. tub)

1 tsp. olive oil

1/8 tsp. salt

Dash pepper

Place potatoes and onion in large saucepan; add water until 2 inches above potatoes.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10 minutes or until tender.  Drain.

Heat broccoli in microwave for 2 - 3 minutes.  Add to potatoes along with cream cheese, oil, salt and pepper

Mash with potato masher or pulse in food processor, being careful not to over-blend or it will become "gooey". 

Note:  The trend of puréeing vegetables with mashed potatoes takes a delicious turn with the addition of broccoli.
