Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and scrub the russet potatoes. Bake directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes until tender.
- While the potatoes bake, steam the broccoli florets for 5-7 minutes until bright green and crisp.
- Once baked, slice the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out some flesh into a bowl, leaving enough to maintain their shape.
- In a bowl, combine the scooped potato with steamed broccoli, cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Spoon the mixture back into each potato skin and top with extra cheddar cheese.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until heated through and bubbly.
