Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place potatoes directly on the oven rack (or on a baking sheet) and bake for 1 hour, until tender.

Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes, until easy to handle.

Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, leaving a thin layer inside the skins to keep them sturdy.

Mash the potato flesh with the butter, sour cream, salt, and milk until smooth. Stir in the broccoli and cheddar cheese.

Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, dividing evenly.

Place the filled potatoes on a baking sheet and return to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, until heated through and the tops are lightly golden.

Serve warm.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Choose Uniform Potato Sizes 🥔
Select russet potatoes of similar size to ensure even baking; this prevents some potatoes from being undercooked while others dry out.
Chill the Filling Before Stuffing ❄️
Prepare your cheese and broccoli mixture ahead and refrigerate it; this helps the filling hold its shape when piped into the potato halves and prevents excess melting.
Dry Out Your Potato Shells 🎯
After scooping out the insides, place the hollowed potato halves cut-side up in the oven for 5 minutes to evaporate surface moisture, which creates a crispier exterior when baked the second time.
Blanch Broccoli First for Texture 🥦
Briefly blanch broccoli for 2-3 minutes before mixing it into the filling to remove excess moisture and ensure it stays tender rather than turning mushy during the second baking.
Brown the Butter for Depth 🧈
Use browned butter instead of regular melted butter in your filling to add a rich, nutty flavor that elevates the entire dish without any extra ingredients.
