This is a great main dish for kids and teens who have a taste for broccoli. This one’s a family favorite, because we all like broccoli so much. For an easy meal, serve with tossed salad and corn on the cob.

　　

Ingredients

4 servings

　　4 large baking potatoes

　　1/4 cup 1% low-fat milk or soymilk

　　2 cups finely chopped broccoli florets, steamed

　　1 cup grated cheddar cheese or cheddar-style soy cheese

　　Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

　　

Step 1

Bake or microwave the potatoes until done but still firm. When cool enough to handle, cut each in half lengthwise. Scoop out the inside of each potato half, leaving a sturdy shell, about 1/4 inch thick all around.

　　

Step 2

Transfer the scooped-out potato to a mixing bowl and mash it coarsely. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine.

　　

Step 3

Stuff the mixture back into the potato shells. Heat as needed in the microwave or in a preheated 400°F oven, and serve.
