How to Make Broccoli Bakers

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Bake 4 large russet potatoes for 1 hour, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  3. Once cool enough to handle, carefully cut a 1-inch wide strip from the top of each baked potato.
  4. Gently scoop out the potato pulp, leaving the skins intact. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, mash the potato pulp.
  6. Add 1 cup cooked broccoli florets, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup milk, 1 tablespoon butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the mashed potatoes.
  7. Stir until well combined.
  8. Spoon the broccoli potato mixture back into the potato skins.
  9. Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet.
  10. Bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Garnish with extra cheese and chives (optional). Serve immediately.
