Broccoli And Cheese Twice Baked Potatoes Food

BROCCOLI AND CHEDDAR TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• Place potatoes in a small baking dish and bake for 1 hour, or until soft. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Once the potatoes are cool enough to safely handle, slice each one in half, lengthwise. Scoop out the potato pulp and place it into a large bowl, being careful to leave the skins intact. Rub the outsides of the potato skins with a little olive oil. Place the skins on the prepared baking sheet and set aside.
• Add the butter to the potato pulp and mash - using an electric mixer or a potato masher - until fairly smooth; add Greek yogurt, buttermilk, salt, pepper, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, dried onion flakes, dill weed, paprika, broccoli and 3/4 cup of the cheese. Divide the filling evenly among the potato shells then top with remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are heated through. Serve at once!

BROCCOLI CHEESE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Poke a few holes in the potatoes with a fork. Bake until tender, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil and fill a bowl with ice water. Blanch the broccoli by throwing the florets into the boiling water until bright green and still slightly crisp, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Immediately drain the broccoli and plunge it into the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Remove it from the ice water and set it aside.
• In a skillet over medium heat, add 1/4 inch of vegetable oil. Add the onions and fry until browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.
• In another skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for a minute or 2, but do not let the flour brown. Whisk in the milk and cook until it thickens. Turn the heat to low, stir in the Cheddar and pepper Jack and cook until they are melted. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring, until the broccoli is warmed through.
• Make a slit down the length of each potato using a fork. Push in the ends to open up the potatoes and break up some of the potato inside. Pour a ladle of the cheese sauce over each potato. Garnish with the crispy onions and serve while hot.

BROCCOLI CHEDDAR TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bake the potatoes in a 400 degree oven for about 1 hour. *Okay, I s'pose you could use microwaved "baked" potatoes instead to save time and they'd come out fine. But, please, if you do have the time, take the time to bake them. They'll taste much better and the skins will hold up much nicer.*.
• After the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each one in half lengthwise and scoop the guts out into a large mixing bowl, being careful to leave the skins intact. Place skins on ungreased cookie sheet and set aside.

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Scrub and dry the potatoes, then rub the skins with olive oil. Place potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, or until soft. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
• Once the potatoes are cool to the touch, slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the potato innards and place them into a large bowl, leaving a thin rim around the insides of the skins. Return the skins to the baking sheet.
• To the potato innards, add butter, cream, sour cream, and seasonings. Use a potato masher or hand mixer to blend until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the broccoli and half of the cheese.
• Divide the filling evenly among the potato shells, then top with the remaining cheese. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are heated through. Broil for 1-2 minutes if desired.
