My broccoli and cheddar cheese twice baked potatoes recipe is one to add immediately to your dinner rotation!
These come together beautifully and it's the type of recipe that you can do while you're doing other things. Perfect pairing!
After baking potatoes in the oven, you'll mix up the ingredients, pop them back in the oven and then brown and broil the melty cheddar cheese for a perfect finish.
I especially love these to send in school lunches!
Add some chopped up ham or turkey on top and it's a complete school meal.
This broccoli heavy recipe is a clever and tasty way to get some greens into our little scholars' bellies.
For this recipe, I use a bag of frozen broccoli that's a breeze to roast while the potatoes are baking.

How To Shop for and Select Potatoes
Shopping for potatoes at the grocery store is easy to do! Unlike other produce, potatoes show you who they are at a glance.
Choose potatoes with the following features.
- Limited 'eye' or indents
- Full skin, not shriveled
- No sprouting or the little green or white 'spikes' that indicate over exposure to light.
- No green spots
How Should I Store Potatoes?
Store potatoes in a cool, dark location in your kitchen, pantry, storage room or even garage.
Don't refrigerate potatoes as storing them at temperatures below 40 degrees F can increase the amount of sugar they contain.
More sugar in potatoes results in producing higher levels of a chemical called acrylamide when the potatoes are baked, fried or roasted at high temperatures.
If potatoes sprout or show green patches, compost them and don't cook them.
Sprouted or green on potatoes indicates the presence of solanine and chaconine, two natural toxins that in certain amounts can make a person ill.
