Broccoli Mashed Potatoes

A green and healthy twist on a classic, perfect for St. Patty’s!

So here is part 2 of the St. Patty’s inspired meal I made! What’s more Irish than meat and potatoes? I figured if I was going beef there would have to be some form of potato alongside it. Mashed seemed like a great traditional dish that would be easy to turn green.  But trying to stick to the healthy side of things, I figured I’d make it green by adding broccoli and green onions! I think the green onions add great flavor! It’s a perfectly easy side dish for your St Patty’s meal, plus it’s a great way to get kids to eat broccoli who don’t like it!
