Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup chopped broccoli florets
• 0.5 cup diced red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup frozen corn
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 3

Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle a small amount of salt. Place the potatoes directly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until they are soft and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 5

While the potatoes bake, prepare the filling: Steam the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until tender but still bright green. Set aside.

Step 6

Heat a small skillet over medium heat and lightly sauté the diced red bell pepper and frozen corn for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are done baking, let them cool for 5-10 minutes, or until they are safe to handle.

Step 8

Slice each potato lengthwise into halves to create 'boats'. Scoop out the flesh using a spoon, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato around the edges to maintain the shell's structure.

Step 9

Place the scooped-out potato flesh into a large mixing bowl. Add the butter, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, and paprika. Use a potato masher to mash until smooth.

Step 10

Fold in the steamed broccoli, sautéed red bell pepper, corn, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the sliced green onions. Mix until well combined. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 11

Spoon the veggie and potato mixture back into the hollowed-out potato shells, mounding slightly.

Step 12

Sprinkle the tops of the stuffed potatoes with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 13

Return the stuffed potato boats to the baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 14

Garnish with the remaining sliced green onions before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
