Cook the potatoes in a pot of salted boiling water for 15 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.

While the potatoes are cooking, bring another pot of salted water to a boil. Wash & trim the broccoli. Separate the crown into florets that are similar in size.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are ready, drain them & transfer them to a bowl. Add a healthy drizzle of olive oil & squeeze of lemon juice (optional). Season with salt & pepper. Mash using a fork or potato masher until creamy.
