Twice Baked Potatoes With Broccoli Food

TWICE-BAKED POTATOES WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake potatoes until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly on a wire rack.
• Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Add broccoli, and cook until very tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath to stop cooking. Drain well. Set aside.
• Cut potatoes lengthwise, removing 1/2 inch off tops; set tops aside. Holding potatoes with a kitchen towel to protect your hand, scoop out flesh, leaving about a 1/2-inch-thick shell on skins; discard flesh of 2 potatoes. Pass remaining flesh through a ricer into a large bowl.
• Add broccoli to bowl with potatoes. Using a pastry blender or potato masher, mash broccoli and potatoes together. Add butter, oil, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; mash until combined. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper. Season potato shells with salt and pepper. Spoon potato mixture into shells. Cover with reserved tops. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Cover sheet with foil, and bake until heated through, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

BROCCOLI CHEESE TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bake potatoes at 425° for 45-60 minutes or until soft. Cut a lengthwise slice from the top of the potatoes. Scoop out pulp and place in bowl. Mash potatoes; add sour cream, butter, salt, pepper, onions, broccoli and 3/4 cup cheese. Refill potato shells; top with remaining cheese and sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.

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 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.
• Add margarine to potato guts and mash using a potato masher until fairly smooth.
• Add sour cream, milk, 1/2 cup of the cheese, ranch dressing mix, chopped broccoli, and seasonings, and mix well.
• Spoon the potato mixture back into the skins, top with the remaining cheese, and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

NEELYS TWICE SMASHED BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pierce potatoes with fork. Place on center rack of oven and cook for 1 hour.
• Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Using a paring knife, cut a canoe-like top out of the potatoes. Scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl, leaving a 1/2-inch thick wall around the skin.
• Add the blanched broccoli to the potatoes. Stir in the butter, sour cream, Cheddar, Gouda, and salt and pepper; and mash until creamy.
• Using a small spoon, scoop the filling back into the potatoes. It will be a nice mounded pile of filling. Sprinkle with more of both cheeses on top of the potatoes.
• Set the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until heated through and cheese in melted and gooey. Serve with butter, if desired.

TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Rub them with the canola oil and bake for 1 hour, making sure they're sufficiently cooked through.
• Slice the butter into pats. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the bacon bits and sour cream. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F.
• With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl, being careful not to tear the shell. Leave a small rim of potato intact for support. Lay the hollowed out potato shells on a baking sheet.
• Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon and sour cream. Add the cheese, milk, seasoned salt, green onions and black pepper to taste and mix together well. (IMPORTANT: If you plan to freeze the twice-baked potatoes, do NOT add the green onions.)
• Fill the potato shells with the filling. I like to fill the shells so they look abundant and heaping. Top each potato with a little more grated cheese and pop 'em in the oven until the potato is warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes.

ULTIMATE TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake potatoes in preheated oven for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl; save skins. To the potato flesh add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 the green onions. Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon.
• Bake for another 15 minutes.
