Ingredients

  • 6 small russet potatoes (about 2 lb total or 1/3 lb each)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (8 oz)
  • 2 cups frozen broccoli florets, thawed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup chopped cooked bacon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Chopped fresh chives, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Scrub potatoes; prick all over with fork. Place directly on oven rack. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until easily pierced with fork. Remove from oven; let stand 30 minutes to cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F; spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • 2
    Cut baked potatoes in half lengthwise, scoop out insides to within 1/8 inch of skin, and transfer to medium bowl. Mash; stir in sour cream, 1 cup of the Cheddar cheese, the broccoli, bacon, salt and pepper.
  • 3
    Fill potato skins with about 1/3 cup potato mixture each, and place filling side up in baking dish. Top with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until cheese is melted and potatoes are heated through. Top with chopped fresh chives.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Russet potatoes vary in size and weight. Using a smaller size works best for this recipe. Buying a 5-lb bag of russet potatoes will be your best bet for getting consistently sized potatoes.
  • tip 2
    These are great for serving to a crowd. Feel free to customize your mix-ins by changing your shredded cheese or type of bacon.
