Ingredients
for 3 servings
- 3 russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 4 oz cream cheese (115 g)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (100 g), plus more for topping
- ½ cup chopped broccoli (75 g)
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup milk (60 mL)
- sour cream, for serving
- chopped fresh chive, for serving
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Carefully pierce potatoes with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of salt. Bake for about 1 hour, until tender (if baking more potatoes, add an additional 15 minutes of cook time per potato). Remove from the oven and let cool. Leave the oven on.
- Once cooled, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh and transfer to a large bowl, reserving the skins.
- Add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, broccoli, remaining 2 teaspoons salt, the pepper, and milk to the bowl with the potato flesh and mix well.
- Scoop the broccoli cheddar potato mixture back into the potato skins and top with more cheddar cheese. Return to the baking sheet.
- Bake the potatoes for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- Serve warm with sour cream and chives.
- Enjoy!
