Description

These Broccoli Cheddar Twice Baked Potatoes are the perfect comfort food, with a creamy, cheesy filling complemented by tender broccoli. Crispy on the outside and deliciously soft on the inside, they make a fantastic side dish or even a hearty main for a cozy meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, washed well and dried
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 3 and 1/2 tablespoons salted butter, very soft
  • 1 cup cooked broccoli florets, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork, rub with olive oil, and place directly on the oven rack.
  • Bake for 1 hour or until tender.
  • Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer inside the skins.
  • In a bowl, mash the potato flesh with the soft butter until smooth.
  • Stir in the broccoli and cheddar cheese.
  • Stuff the potato skins with the mixture and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use frozen broccoli florets for convenience.
  • For extra flavor, top with a sprinkle of extra cheese before baking for a cheesy crust.
  • These potatoes can be made ahead of time and reheated when needed.
