Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter Melted
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Scrub the russet potatoes under cold water, pat dry, and poke several holes in each potato with a fork.
Baking the Potatoes
  1. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking tray and bake for about 45-60 minutes or until tender.
  2. While the potatoes are baking, steam or microwave the broccoli florets until tender, typically around 3-5 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and melted butter. Season with salt and pepper.
Stuff the Potatoes
  1. Once baked, carefully cut the potatoes open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Load the cheesy broccoli mixture into each potato.
Final Bake and Serve
  1. Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to melt the cheese.
  2. Sprinkle additional cheese on top if desired and serve hot.
