This fast and easy Creamy Broccoli Potato Casserole is the perfect side dish. Three layers of Broccoli, Potatoes, a Creamy Sauce and a sprinkling of Parmesan will make this Delicious Bake a Family Favourite.

Hello Broccoli Season, we all know How Good Broccoli is for us but we also know that sometimes for some of us it is kind of hard to swallow. Personally I love the stuff.

I love it sautéed with a little olive oil,  garlic and salt. I love Broccolette (Broccoli Rabe) tossed with Spaghetti, or even baked in the oven in a Cheesy White Sauce.

And I know how hard it can be to get the kids and even the grown ups to eat it. Well this side dish should fix that. A perfect combination of potatoes and Broccoli in a creamy white sauce, a few spices and of course a sprinkling of Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese brings it all together.

I started by boiling the potatoes until tender, but not mushy, almost al dente. While I was waiting for the potatoes to cool enough so I could slice them, I cooked the broccoli florets (in the same water) for about 5 minutes and made the white sauce.

I let the sauce cool a bit while I sliced the potatoes, but don’t slice them too thick. I then started to layer, it’s a good idea to add a little white sauce to the bottom of the baking dish.

Then add a layer of potatoes, a little sprinkle of salt (if needed) and oregano or whatever spice you prefer, top with white sauce, broccoli florets (if your florets are too large break them into smaller pieces) and a good sprinkling of Parmesan Cheese.

Continue for 3 layers. Bake for about 30 minutes, let it cool for 5 minutes and then serve. I hope you enjoy this Creamy Broccoli Potato Casserole as much as we do. Buon Appetito!

  • Pre-heat oven to 350° (180° celsius).
    Boil potatoes in salted water until tender but firm, remove to cool, in the same water add the broccoli florets and cook approximately 5 minutes. Drain well.

    In a 8x6 inch (20 x 15 centimeter) baking dish, spread a couple of spoonfuls of white sauce on the bottom, make 3 layers, starting with the sliced potatoes, spinkle of oregano, white sauce, broccoli florets (if too large cut into smaller pieces) and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, continue for three layers.

      We really liked this recipe! It took a longer to prep because we used fresh broccoli. We also added chicken, one cup of water with chicken seasoning in a pan on stove top. That was a really hearty addition. Two types of cheese.
