Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 russet baking potatoes
2 heads broccoli, cut into small florets
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups shredded Cheddar
2 cups shredded pepper Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Poke a few holes in the potatoes with a fork. Bake until tender, 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil and fill a bowl with ice water. Blanch the broccoli by throwing the florets into the boiling water until bright green and still slightly crisp, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Immediately drain the broccoli and plunge it into the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Remove it from the ice water and set it aside.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add 1/4 inch of vegetable oil. Add the onions and fry until browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.
  • In another skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for a minute or 2, but do not let the flour brown. Whisk in the milk and cook until it thickens. Turn the heat to low, stir in the Cheddar and pepper Jack and cook until they are melted. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring, until the broccoli is warmed through.
  • Make a slit down the length of each potato using a fork. Push in the ends to open up the potatoes and break up some of the potato inside. Pour a ladle of the cheese sauce over each potato. Garnish with the crispy onions and serve while hot.

Tips and Conclusion

This broccoli and potatoes recipe provides a wholesome and flavorful meal, perfect for a weeknight dinner or a healthy lunch. The combination of fresh broccoli, tender potatoes, and a creamy sauce creates a comforting and satisfying dish. Here are some additional tips for making the best broccoli and potatoes:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes, hold their shape well and won't become mushy when cooked. This makes them ideal for this recipe.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: Cutting the potatoes into uniform pieces will ensure that they cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 1-inch thick.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the potatoes, make sure they are in a single layer in the pan. Overcrowding will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a broth that is flavorful and has a rich taste.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The potatoes will become soggy if they sit for too long.

In conclusion, this broccoli and potatoes recipe is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, it's a perfect choice for busy weeknights or leisurely weekends.

Remember to adjust the cooking time and seasonings according to your personal preferences. Experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor that suits your taste. Whether you serve it as a main course or a side dish, this broccoli and potatoes recipe is sure to be a hit!
