I'm looking for some I had online some time ago from a couple of
potato bags, but I haven't found them.  I did find these goodies
from off the net, however.

Subject: OVO-LACTO w/VEGAN Substitutions: What to do with Broccoli
 
Here is something to do with broccoli and potatoes.
 
This recipe has been taken from The New Laurel's Kitchen.  I have made
this myself in various forms.  When I don't have baking potatoes, and
I want to be somewhat less formal, I just use regular potatoes with
their jackets and mash it all together and serve that way.  It is
truly scrumptious and filling.  It can be served with a nice green
salad (or garbanzo salad) and maybe some whole-grain bread
for a truly satisfying meal.
In the summer, it goes well with a cool drink (I like lime
spritzers with it myself).
 
				Green Potatoes for Six
 
6 medium or 3 large baking potatoes
3 stalks broccoli (one pound total)
3/4 cup grated cheese (I suspect you can sub non-dairy cheese here; I
	have not tried it - jalapeno cheese is particularly good)
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup milk  (Sub plain soy milk if you want)
 
Preheat oven to 400F
 
        Scrub potatoes.  Butter* skins and make shallow slits around the
middle as if you were cutting the potatoes in half lengthwise.  Bake
until done - 45 to 60 minutes depending on size.
 
        Peel broccoli stems.  Steam whole stalks until just tender and
chop fine.
 
        Carefully slice the potatoes in half (the slit helpps) and scoop
the insides into a bowl with the broccoli.  Add 1/2 cup of the cheese
and the salt, pepper, and milk.  Mash all together until mixture is pale
green with dark green flecks.  Heap into the potato jackets and sprinkle
with remaining cheese.  Return to the oven for about 10 minutes.
        Serves 6
 
*I don't usually use butter.  I use spray Olive Oil or safflower or
Canola Oil.  Doing this gives a nice shiny soft skin rather than a dry
hard one (it is optional I suppose)

Consider
 
			Potatos with Black Pepper
 
2-3 good-sized potatos, boiled in jackets	
1.5 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp salt						
2 tsp chopped cilantro leaves, optional (I omit them)		
2-4 Tbsp oil for frying				

	Cool the boiled potatoes, skin them, and cut into 1/2" dice. 
Heat the oil in a skillet, and toss in the potatos.  Stir 'til warm (a
minute or so), then sprinkle on the salt.  Cover and cook for 15-20 min,
stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
 
Add the pepper and cilantro if desired, and stir for a minute or 5 more.
 
Drain, and serve warm.  Plain yogurt is a good accompaniment!
