Cooking Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Use a fork to prick them several times.
Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes, until tender.
Cook the broccoli florets until tender (about 5-7 minutes) if fresh; microwave if frozen.
Chop the cooked broccoli into small, bite-sized pieces.
Combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, milk, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Cool the baked potatoes for a few minutes, then slice in half lengthwise and scoop out some flesh.
Fill each potato half with the cheesy broccoli mixture.
Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Cool for a few minutes after baking. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Enjoy them warm!
Sprinkle some extra shredded cheddar on top before the last bake for an even cheesier finish.
