Ingredients
- 1 small Broccoli
- Salt
- 400 g small, mostly waxy potatoes from the day before (cooked but not too soft)
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 3 sprigs rosemary
- 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1.
Clean, wash the broccoli and cut into florets. Peel the stalk, remove the lower part and dice the rest. Boil in salted water for about 5 minutes until al dente. Drain and shock with cold water.
-
2.
Preheat the oven to 200 °C fan‑forced. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Spread the potatoes on the paper and lightly press them with a potato masher so that the skins crack but the potatoes don’t fall apart.

3.
Peel the garlic and scatter it whole over the potatoes along with the rosemary sprigs. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
-
4.
Bake the smashed potatoes on the middle rack for about 25 minutes. Ten minutes before the end, remove the tray, sprinkle the broccoli florets and diced stalk over the potatoes and bake until done.
