Smashed Potato-and-Broccoli Casserole Recipe

  • 2 pounds baking potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill weed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ground red pepper
  • 1 (8 ounce) container fat free sour cream
  • cooking spray
  • 3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Place potatoes in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 20 minutes or until tender. Drain potatoes in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Return potatoes and liquid to pan; mash with a potato masher until slightly chunky.
  3. Add chopped broccoli and next 6 ingredients (broccoli through sour cream) to pan, and stir well. Spoon potato mixture into an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese; bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese melts.
