Broccoli Potatoes

Submitted by Bergy

"This is quite a common way of doing potatoes but I thought I would send it in anyway. Sometimes I do the recipe up until the final baking step and then just pop them in the oven 25 min before serving dinner"

These were great! I made then up on Sunday night and did everything except bake them the second time. Came in from work Monday evening and popped them in the oven and served hot with some veggies--we didn't even need any meat! I love quick easy meals like this.

Not so common, never saw this one before although ingredients are common hadn't thought of putting together. Thanks for sharing:) Served it with Mom's Meatloaf (by Mary in NJ) It complimented the meatloaf and was a great dinner!

Add me to the list of cook's who loved this easy recipe, Bergy!! I've made twice-stuffed taters before, but, they sure never came out like these! I whipped them up with a handbeater, and then folded in the broccoli ... OMG!! Soooo, good! They were great as "re-runs" the next night, too! They are "keepers" in this house! Thanks a bunch for sharing!

Thank you for the inspiration. Big crowd showed up at the island cottage. This is how I adapted the recipe. 1. Boiled regular boing potatoes until tender. Split them in half and scooped some of the flesh. 2. I sautéed red onions and roasted some garlic. 3. I steamed the broccoli. In a food processor, I chopped together the onions, garlic, potatoes and broccoli. Seasoned the mixture. Not puréed. 4. Placed the potato halves in a 9 by 13 pan, squished together. Covered the potatoes with the mixture. 5. Topped the potatoes with shredded cheese and baked in a 350 degree oven until browned. Friends and family wiped it out!

These potatoes were SO delicious! I didn't have baking potatoes so we did everything exactly the same, except we discarded the skins instead of stuffing them. Thanks for the recipe! We will definitely be having these on a regular basis!
