Twice Baked Broccoli Cheddar Potatoes


What you need,

1 large russet potato, washed and dried

1 tbsp. olive oil

½ tsp kosher salt

2 tbsp. milk or cream

2 heaping tbsp. sour cream

1 tbsp. butter

¼ cup grated cheddar cheese + a little extra for topping

½ cup or broccoli chopped into very small florets

Salt and Pepper to taste

Poke holes all over your potato, then microwave it on high for 3-5 minutes until it starts to soften.  Then rub it in olive oil and sprinkle it all over with salt and place it on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees until the skin is crisp and the potato is fully cooked through, 30-45 minutes. I rolled my potato over halfway through.

Remove the potato from the oven and let it cool until you can handle it.  Cut in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the middles leaving a little potato around the edge to hold the filling in when you re-stuff it.

Mash the inside of the potato with the milk, sour cream and butter. Stir in the cheese and broccoli and season to your taste with salt and pepper. Try not to eat all the filling with a spoon, I almost did, damn it was tasty!

Re-stuff the potatoes with the filling, heaping it in there. Top with a little extra cheese and bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes until it is hot and melty.

Stuff in your face… well maybe make a salad and have that too…
