Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large russet potatoes
  • olive oil
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • fresh chives or scallions
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • ground cayenne pepper
  • garlic powder
  • 5.5 ounces freshly grated medium cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups finely chopped broccoli florets

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the russet potatoes clean, poke holes in them, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and bake for about 50 minutes until tender.
  2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour to create a roux; gradually add milk while whisking continuously until the mixture thickens (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Stir in cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Add grated cheddar cheese until melted, then fold in chopped broccoli and cook until tender.
  4. Once the potatoes are ready, slice them open and fluff the insides with a fork. Top generously with the broccoli cheese sauce and garnish with black pepper and fresh chives or scallions.
