How to Make Broccoli Potato Gratin

  1. Preheat your oven's broiler and set the rack 6 inches from the heat source.
  2. In a 4-quart saucepan, combine the broccoli florets, cubed potatoes, and 1 cup of water.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 17-20 minutes, or until the potatoes and broccoli are very tender. Stir halfway through cooking.
  4. While the vegetables are cooking, prepare a shallow, broiler-safe 1- to 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
  5. Once cooked, drain the vegetables in a colander set over a large bowl, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
  6. Return the vegetables to the saucepan. Using a potato masher, mash until smooth, adding a bit of the reserved cooking liquid if the mixture seems too dry.
  7. Stir in the ground nutmeg, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  8. Transfer the vegetable mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the top.
  10. Place the baking dish under the preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the Parmesan cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy! Serving size: 1/2 cup
