Green Potatoes for Six

6 medium potatoes
3 stalks broccoli
1/4 cup milk
3/4 cup grated cheese
2 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Bake the potatoes (scrubbed, with shallow slits lengthwise around the middle) until done at 400 degrees F. for 30-60 minutes. Peel broccoli stems. Steam the whole stalks until just tender; chop fine. Carefully cut potatoes in half (the slit makes it easier) and scoop the insides into a bowl with the broccoli. Add 1/2 the cheese, the margarine, salt, pepper, and milk. Mash all together, until the mixture is pale green with dark green flecks. Heap into potato jackets and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Return to oven to heat through (10 minutes.)
