- For crispier potatoes, pierce them with a fork before baking.
- To prevent the potatoes from drying out, wrap them in aluminum foil before baking.
- If you don't have a baking dish, you can bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack. Just make sure to place a baking sheet underneath to catch any drippings.
- To make the broccoli cheddar sauce, you can use either fresh or frozen broccoli. If using frozen broccoli, thaw it completely before using.
- You can use any type of cheese you like in the broccoli cheddar sauce. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Gruyère are all good options.
- If you don't have any sour cream, you can use plain yogurt instead.
- To make the potatoes ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the potatoes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through.
