Smashed Potatoes and Broccoli

• I found this on The Food Network, it's provided by the Neeley's (makers of Git-Cho-Man Chicken!), and it was just up my alley.
• 4 pounds Yukon gold or russet potatoes, quartered
• 2 (about 6 cups) broccoli heads
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 stick butter
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Boil potatoes in salted water until very tender; about 20 minutes. Cut the florets off the broccoli and add to boiling potatoes, about 7 minutes. Drain and place back into pot.

Heat the milk, cream, and butter in a small saucepan. Pour sauce into the potatoes and broccoli, add cheese, mash together. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
