Ingredients:
- 12 small potatoes (about half of a 1.5lb bag)
- ¼ cup milk or cream
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ½ cup steamed broccoli, chopped
- ¾ cup grated cheddar cheese (divided into ½ cup and ¼ cup)
Preparation:
Stage One: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes until tender. Let them cool until they’re easy to handle. For faster cooling, you can place them in the refrigerator.
Stage Two: Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving enough around the skin to create a sturdy shell for stuffing.
Stage Three: In a bowl, mash the potato flesh with a fork. Add the milk (or cream), salt, and garlic powder, and continue mashing until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Stage Four: Fold in the chopped steamed broccoli and ½ cup of grated cheddar cheese. Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells, filling them generously.
Stage Five: Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of cheddar cheese over the stuffed potatoes. Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Serve immediately and enjoy this hearty, cheesy delight!
