Broccoli Cheddar Baked Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Thoroughly wash and dry potatoes. Prick each in a few spots with a fork. Brush with oil and season with salt.
• Place potatoes directly on rack and bake until soft and easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes, depending on size. Meanwhile, toss broccoli with oil. Spread onto a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. When potatoes are halfway through baking, place sheet on rack in lower third. Cook until broccoli is tender and brown in places, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour. Cook until golden, about 1 minute. Whisk in milk. Boil, whisking, until thickened slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in cheddar, cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth.
• Remove potatoes from oven. Grab a hot potato with a clean kitchen towel and bang it down firmly on the counter once to fluff up the flesh. Repeat with remaining potatoes. Cut open and season generously with salt and pepper. Top with broccoli and drizzle with cheese sauce; serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Carefully pierce potatoes with a fork. On a baking sheet oil the potatoes well and sprinkle with salt.
• Bake for about one hour. If making more potatoes, an additional 15 minutes per potato is needed.
• Once cooled, cut the potatoes vertically, scoop out the inside, and transfer to a bowl.
• In the bowl with the scooped out potatoes, add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, broccoli, salt, pepper, and milk. Mix well.
• Scoop the potato mixture back into the potatoes and top with cheddar cheese.
• Bake an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted.
• Serve warm with sour cream and chives.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Pierce each potato several times with a fork; put on a plate and microwave until tender, 10 to 20 minutes.
• Cook the bacon in a large ovenproof skillet until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Pour the fat into a bowl; wipe out and reserve the skillet.
• Add the broccoli to the boiling water and cook 3 minutes, then drain.
• Halve the potatoes lengthwise, then scoop the flesh into a bowl, leaving a 1/2-inch-thick shell. Place the shells cut-side down in the skillet and brush with the reserved bacon fat. Transfer the skillet to the broiler; broil until golden, about 3 minutes.
• Mash the potato flesh with the butter and sour cream; season with 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste. Toss in the broccoli, scallions, bacon and half of the cheddar. Turn the potato shells cut-side up in the skillet. Stuff with the broccoli mixture and sprinkle with the remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Broil until the cheese melts, 3 to 4 minutes. Toss the spinach with the dressing; serve with the potatoes.

Steps:

• Prick potatoes in several places with a fork. Microwave on high until tender (a paring knife inserted in the center of each should meet no resistance), 13 to 15 minutes, turning once during cooking. Set aside.
• Cut broccoli into small florets (reserve stems for another use). Place in a microwave-safe bowl filled with 1 inch of water. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Microwave on high until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, cut a deep cross in the top of each potato; push ends toward each other to open. With a fork, loosen and lightly mash inside. Dividing evenly, top potatoes with butter, cheddar cheese, and broccoli.

Set the pot to pressure cook on high for 20 minutes (see Cook's Note). After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid. Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet and bake until the skin is golden and crispy, 7 to 10 minutes. Set aside. Clean out the pot and place back in the base.

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.
