Description

Tender baked russet potatoes are hollowed and filled with a creamy mixture of steamed broccoli, melted cheddar cheese, sour cream, and butter, then baked again until golden and bubbly. This French-inspired side dish combines comforting textures and rich, cheesy flavors perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 4 large russet potatoes

Filling

  • 1½ cups broccoli florets, steamed and chopped
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the potatoes.
  2. Bake Potatoes: Place the russet potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Cool and Halve: Allow the baked potatoes to cool for a few minutes until safe to handle, then carefully cut each potato in half lengthwise.
  4. Scoop Potato Flesh: Using a spoon, scoop out the potato flesh into a bowl, leaving a thin shell intact to hold the filling.
  5. Prepare Filling: Mash the scooped potato flesh with sour cream, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add Broccoli and Cheese: Fold the steamed, chopped broccoli and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the mashed potato mixture until combined evenly.
  7. Stuff Potatoes: Spoon the broccoli-cheddar mixture back into the potato shells, filling them generously.
  8. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese over the tops of each stuffed potato half.
  9. Final Bake: Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese topping is melted, golden, and bubbly.
  10. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm, optionally garnished with green onions or cooked bacon for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Add cooked bacon bits to the filling for a smoky, savory boost.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions before serving for color and fresh flavor.
  • For a lighter version, substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt.
  • Ensure broccoli is steamed until just tender to maintain texture in the filling.
