- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 cup cooked broccoli, chopped
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour, or until fork-tender. Let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, boil the broccoli until tender, then chop into small pieces.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving ¼ inch around the skin.
- In a bowl, mash the potato flesh with butter, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Stir in boiled broccoli and 1⅔ cups of cheddar cheese, mixing well.
- Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, then top each with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Place the stuffed potatoes back on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
