Twice Baked Potatoes

This recipe is based on a recipe I found on eatingwell.com for loaded twice baked potatoes. I was really hoping Natty would like this one since he was recently spotted eating mashed potatoes, but he wouldn't try these at all. This child will drive me crazy with the vegetable thing... I served these with broccoli mac and cheese so that I would have something to give to Natty, but the potatoes could have stood alone as a meal.


Twice Baked Potatoes
4 large russet potatoes
2 cups broccoli, chopped and steamed
1.5 cups plain yogurt
1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper
Microwave potatoes on high for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through (don't forget to poke holes in them before you start!). Cut tops off of potatoes and set aside. Scoop out insides into a medium bowl. Add broccoli, yogurt, 1 cup cheddar cheese, and salt and pepper to the potatoes. Mix/mash together. Stuff each potato shell with mixture and place in a baking dish. Top with remaining cheddar and put in toaster oven/oven/microwave to melt cheese.


Notes for next time: I had a heck of a time scooping out the insides of the potatoes without breaking the skin. Next time, I am going to try baking the potatoes in the oven to see if the skins remain a little stronger.
