Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Peel and cut the potatoes into uniform chunks. Boil in salted water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let dry on a towel for 5 minutes.
  2. Bring water to a boil, add broccoli florets, and blanch for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to ice water immediately.
  3. Mash cooled potatoes in a bowl and mix in blanched broccoli, cheddar, salt, and pepper. Optionally add breadcrumbs or cornstarch.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Form small mounds of the mixture and create indents for broccoli florets. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden-brown and crispy. Enjoy the aroma!
  6. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
