Time 1h20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 baking potatoes (about 5 pounds)
1 pound smoked bacon, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups (1 pint) sour cream
2 1/2 cups grated extra-sharp yellow Cheddar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Use a fork to poke holes in the potatoes and place on a baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, about 1 hour. Use a sharp knife to test for doneness; it should easily cut into the center.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on a towel-lined plate, then crumble and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; prepare an ice water bath. Cook the broccoli florets in the boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and transfer to the ice bath, then drain again.
  • To serve the potatoes, make a cut through the top of each and push both ends together to fluff the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, then top each with 1 tablespoon butter, a dollop of sour cream, 1/4 cup broccoli, 1/4 cup Cheddar, 2 tablespoons crumbled bacon and 1 tablespoon chopped chives. Return to the oven until the cheese melts, about 10 minutes.

These potatoes were a bit too dry, but they were still good. I think I will add more butter next time.
