A delightful casserole combining potatoes, broccoli, and a creamy cheese blend for a comforting meal.
Boil the potatoes in a pot of water until tender, about 20 minutes.
Cut the potatoes into even pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
Drain the potatoes, reserving 3/4 cup of the cooking water.
Use a heat-safe measuring cup to reserve the cooking water easily.
Mash the potatoes with the reserved water until slightly chunky.
For a smoother texture, use a hand mixer instead of a masher.
Mix the mashed potatoes with broccoli, cottage cheese, dill, salt, pepper, and sour cream.
Ensure the broccoli is chopped into small pieces for even distribution.
Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish.
Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
Bake at 375°F for 35 minutes.
Check halfway through to ensure the top isn't browning too quickly.
Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
For a golden crust, broil for the last minute of baking.
Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy potato and broccoli bake.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh dill for added flavor.
