Potato Skins with Broccoli and Cheddar Recipe
- 4 small russet potatoes
- Kosher salt to taste
- 8 ounces small broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, small dice
- 1 clove garlic
- 6 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Preheat the oven to 450F degrees .
- Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Arrange the potatoes on the foil and bake until theyre fully cooked and soft, about 40 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let the potatoes get cool enough to handle, about 30 minutes.
- Set the foil-lined baking sheet aside.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise.
- Scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch of potato all the way around the interior (reserve the scooped potato for another use, such as adding body to a soup).
- Lightly coat the exterior skins with cooking spray, sprinkle inside and out with salt, and place flesh-side down on the foil-lined baking sheet.
- Bake until slightly golden, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the broccoli florets in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until just tender, about 3 minutes.
- (Alternately, steam the florets in a saucepan over 1 inch of boiling water for 5 to 6 minutes.)
- Warm the oil in a medium nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Reduce the heat to medium, add the broccoli and cook, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl, add half the cheddar cheese and stir until combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill each skin with the broccoli mixture, distributing it evenly, and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and the potato skin is hot all the way through, about 5 minutes.
- Serve while hot.
