  • Bake potatoes until fork tender and set aside to cool slightly.
  • In the meantime, cook your bacon (crisp). Chop and set aside.
  • Steam broccoli florets until al-dente. Drain and set aside.
  • When potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice in half lengthwise and scoop out potato flesh.
  • Place potato skins into baking dish (foil lining pan will make clean up easier).
  • In large bowl, and using an electric mixer (or a hand potato masher), blend together potato flesh, butter, sour cream, & milk. Add salt and pepper. Blend until well mixed.
  • On low speed (or stir in if using a potato masher), mix in green onion and 3/4 cup of cheese.
  • Using wooden spoon or spatula, carefully stir in broccoli and bacon.
  • Scoop potato filling into potato shells. Top with remaining cheese.
  • Cover loosely with foil and bake for about 20 minutes at 350*. Uncover and continue baking for approx. another 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
