Recipe Of The Day Broccoli Cheese Potatoes

Here Comes Our Healthy Recipe Of The Day "Broccoli Cheese Potatoes"

One of the greatest ways a baked potato can ever be eaten! This broccoli cheese sauce is deliciously flavourful, completely wealthy and creamy with a delicious potato compliment.

Ingredients

3 medium Russet potatoes, scrubbed and rinsed
2 Tbsp butter, diced into 4 pieces
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp (scant) onion powder
1/8 tsp (scant) garlic powder
1 cup milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar (4 oz)
1 cup chopped steamed broccoli florets

Instructions

Heat to 400 degrees. Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Place potatoes in the oven (I never preheat it first with potatoes) and bake until potatoes are tender about 45 minutes
to 1 hour.

For the broccoli cheese sauce:
In a small or medium saucepan melt butter over medium heat. Add onion powder, garlic powder, and flour and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. While whisking pour in milk,
season with salt and pepper to taste and allow the mixture to cook, stirring constantly until it boils and mixture has thickened. Reduce to warm heat and stir in cheddar cheese. Stir until
cheese has melted then stir in steamed broccoli. Serve warm over potatoes.
