Ingredients
  

2 large russet potatoes

1 cup fresh broccoli florets, steamed and chopped

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup milk

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)

Chives or green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry the russet potatoes. Prick several holes in each potato with a fork and coat them lightly with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

      Cook the Broccoli: While the potatoes are baking, steam the broccoli florets until they are vibrant green and tender (about 5 minutes). Chop them into small pieces and set aside.

        Make the Filling: Once the potatoes are cooked through, allow them to cool slightly. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the inside, leaving about a 1/4-inch layer to support the cups. Place the scooped potato in a mixing bowl.

          Combine Ingredients: To the potato flesh, add the steamed and chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined and creamy.

            Fill the Potato Cups: Spoon the broccoli-cheese mixture back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly at the top.

              Add Toppings: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously on top of each filled potato cup.

                Bake Again: Place the filled potato cups back on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly.

                  Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions before serving. Enjoy your delightful Cheesy Broccoli Bliss Potato Cups!
