Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This sets the stage for baking those fluffy russet potatoes to perfection.
  • Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and prick them several times with a fork.
  • Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes until tender.
  • Prepare the broccoli by steaming or boiling the florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Mix all the filling ingredients together in a bowl until creamy and flavorful.
  • Cool the baked potatoes slightly before cutting them in half lengthwise.
  • Fill each potato half with the cheesy broccoli mixture and top with more cheddar cheese.
  • Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  • Let cool for a few minutes before serving and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

Optional: Serve with a dollop of extra sour cream for added creaminess.
