Broccoli and Cheddar Cheese Mashed Potatoes

What we have here is a great side dish. Perfect for any Holiday meal or just to

go with weeknight dinner. I have a thing for baked potatoes with broccoli and

cheese and one day I was thinking how could I make a mashed potato version?

I came up with this and it was truly awesome. I hope you enjoy!
