How to Make Garden Stuffed Baked Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce 4 large russet potatoes several times with a fork. Place directly on the bottom oven rack and bake for 1 hour, or until tender.
  2. Let the baked potatoes cool slightly before handling.
  3. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the potato pulp, leaving about a 1/4-inch border. Set the potato skins aside.
  4. Steam 1 large head of broccoli florets for 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Chop the broccoli florets into small pieces.
  6. In a medium skillet, saute 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion in 2 tablespoons butter or margarine over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
  7. In a large bowl, mash the potato pulp until mostly smooth but with some texture remaining.
  8. Add the sauteed onions, chopped broccoli, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup ranch dressing, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional) to the mashed potatoes.
  9. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared potato skins.
  11. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the stuffed potatoes.
  12. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving. Leftovers freeze well.
