Cook broccoli according to package. Spread broccoli on top of potatoes. Sprinkle the remaining cheese/onion mixture on top of broccoli. Place back in the oven and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and browning.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for twice-baked potatoes because they are starchy and hold their shape well. Avoid using waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or new potatoes, as they will not become as fluffy.
- Bake the potatoes until they are fork-tender: This will ensure that the potatoes are cooked through and will easily scoop out.
- Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy: This will help the potatoes to blend well with the other ingredients and create a smooth and creamy filling.
- Season the potatoes well: Be sure to add plenty of salt and pepper to the potatoes before mashing them. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Use a generous amount of cheese: Cheese is what makes twice-baked potatoes so delicious! Be sure to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use Parmesan cheese, Gruyère cheese, or a combination of cheeses.
- Add mix-ins: Mix-ins are a great way to add extra flavor and texture to twice-baked potatoes. Some popular mix-ins include broccoli, bacon, ham, cooked chicken, or sautéed mushrooms.
- Bake the potatoes until they are golden brown: This will give the potatoes a crispy crust and a delicious flavor.

Twice-baked potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
