Twice Baked Broccoli & Cheddar Potatoes

Twice Baked Broccoli & Cheddar Potatoes

These Twice Baked Broccoli & Cheddar Potatoes are loaded with creamy mashed potato, tender broccoli, and melty cheddar cheese, all packed into crispy potato skins and baked to golden perfection.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 halves 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Russet potatoes
  • 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scrub and dry the potatoes, place them on the baking sheet, and bake for 45–50 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Meanwhile, steam or blanch the broccoli for 3–4 minutes until tender and bright green.
  4. Let the baked potatoes cool slightly, then cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides into a bowl, leaving a thin layer inside the skins.
  5. Mix the potato with broccoli, 1¼ cups cheddar, sour cream, butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until just combined.
  6. Spoon the filling back into the potato skins and top with the remaining cheese.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for another 15–20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with chives and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use Russet potatoes for the best fluffy texture.
  • Do not overmix the filling to keep it light.
  • Prep ahead and refrigerate before the second bake to save time.
  • Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra crispy tops.
