How to Make Broccoli Baked Potatoes
- Scrub 2 large russet potatoes thoroughly.
- Using a fork, prick the potatoes all over and make shallow slits around the middle, almost halfway through lengthwise.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
- While potatoes bake, prepare the broccoli: Peel 1 pound of broccoli stems.
- Cut broccoli into florets. Steam or microwave until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes). Chop finely.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully cut them in half lengthwise.
- Scoop the potato flesh into a large bowl. Add the chopped broccoli, 1/2 cup milk, 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gently mash the mixture until it's pale green with flecks of darker green broccoli. Do not overmash.
- Heap the broccoli potato mixture back into the potato skins.
- Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Return to the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
