THE ULTIMATE STUFFED POTATO

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 stuffed potatoes

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 medium-sized Idaho potatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1/2 stick butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
About 2 cups, plus more for topping, shredded sharp white Cheddar
2 heads broccoli, florets, blanched in salty water
1/2 pound bacon, medium dice, cooked until crisp
2 tablespoons chives, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Begin by baking the potatoes, as this will take the longest. Place potatoes onto a baking sheet. Pierce with a fork, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Place into preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour.
  • While they are baking prepare the stuffing. Make a mornay sauce by combining the butter and flour over medium heat and then whisking in the milk. Fold in about 2 cups cheese and stir until melted. Once melted, remove from heat and fold in the cooked broccoli florets, crispy bacon bits, chopped chives and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • When the potatoes are done make a cut across the top and squeeze it from the bottom so a small pouch opens up and the bottom is squared off. Spoon the filling over the top of the potato, sprinkle with cheese, season with pepper, to taste, and then pop in the oven for 2 more minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

Tips:

  • For a crispier potato skin, prick the potatoes with a fork before baking. This will allow the steam to escape, resulting in a golden brown, crispy skin.
  • To make the potatoes ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and let them cool completely. Once cooled, wrap the potatoes tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to serve, thaw the potatoes in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for several hours. Then, reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
  • For a vegetarian version of this recipe, omit the bacon. You can also use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • To add more flavor to the potatoes, try adding a variety of spices to the filling, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
  • If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a fork to mash the potatoes. Just be sure to mash them until they are smooth and creamy.

Conclusion:

These ultimate stuffed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also freezer-friendly, making them a great option for busy weeknights. With a few simple tips, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
