Cheesy Broccoli Stuffed Potatoes

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Prick the potatoes several times with a toothpick and place them on the baking sheet. Bake for 60 minutes until tender.
  3. While the potatoes are baking, bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Place broccoli florets in a steamer basket, set over the saucepan, and steam for 5 minutes until tender.
  4. Once the potatoes are done, cut off the upper third of each potato and scoop out the flesh, leaving just the skins.
  5. In a bowl, mash the potato flesh with a fork. Add sour cream or yogurt, steamed broccoli, 100 g grated cheddar, chives, and salt. Mix everything well with a spatula.
  6. Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato shells. Sprinkle the remaining 25 g cheddar on top.
  7. Place the stuffed potatoes back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 12 minutes until the cheese melts and starts to brown.
  8. Garnish with extra chopped chives and serve hot.
