Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pieces green onions (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly, then pierce each one several times with a fork.
Step 3
Rub the potatoes with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt, then place them directly on the oven rack or a baking sheet. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 4
While the potatoes are baking, steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 5 minutes. Chop them into small pieces and set aside.
Step 5
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly, about 10 minutes, until safe enough to handle.
Step 6
Slice each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out most of the flesh into a mixing bowl, leaving a thin layer to keep the potato skins sturdy.
Step 7
To the potato flesh in the bowl, add sour cream, milk, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy.
Step 8
Fold in 1 cup of cheddar cheese and the chopped broccoli until well combined.
Step 9
Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly.
Step 10
Top each potato with the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese.
Step 11
Place the stuffed potatoes back on the baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 12
Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
