This was really good. I used probably more than 2 cups potatoes...I like a lot. Boiled them in chicken broth for some added flavor. Used low fat milk and butter substitute to help with the fat content.

And put shred cheese on the table rather than adding on stove. I especially loved the addition of the broccoli as I love that as well.
