1
First, scrub the potatoes and prick them lightly all over with a fork.
-
2
Rub them with the olive oil and a sprinkle of saltthe skins will taste delicious this way!
-
3
Now, to adhere to the quick cooking time, I microwave my potatoes.
-
4
If you would like to bake yours in the oven, wrap them in foil and bake at 400 degrees F for about 1 hour until a fork inserts into the middle easily.
-
5
Otherwise, wrap the potatoes in a kitchen towel and microwave for 10 minutes.
-
6
Test for doneness, and microwave 5 more minutes at a time until cooked through.
-
7
While the potatoes are cooking, chop the broccoli into small bits and preheat a skillet to medium heat with the butter.
-
8
Add the broccoli and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to the pan.
-
9
Stir for 7 minutes or so until the broccoli is soft but still bright green.
-
10
To assemble, cut the potatoes in half, then into large chunks and spread them on the bottom of a large plate.
-
11
You could leave the potatoes whole and just split them in the middle, though.
-
12
Sprinkle salt and pepper liberally over the baked, chopped potato.
-
13
Add another pat of butter here, if youd like.
-
14
Top with a sprinkle of cheddar, then half the broccoli.
-
15
Top the broccoli with more cheddar, scallions, and a dollop of sour cream.
-
16
Enjoy!
