Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

4 large baking potatoes
1/4 cup 1% low-fat milk or soymilk
2 cups finely chopped broccoli florets, steamed
1 cup grated cheddar cheese or cheddar-style soy cheese
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bake or microwave the potatoes until done but still firm. When cool enough to handle, cut each in half lengthwise. Scoop out the inside of each potato half, leaving a sturdy shell, about 1/4 inch thick all around.

    Step 2

    Transfer the scooped-out potato to a mixing bowl and mash it coarsely. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine.

    Step 3

    Stuff the mixture back into the potato shells. Heat as needed in the microwave or in a preheated 400°F oven, and serve.
