Steps

1hr 30mins

1

Preheat the oven to 200°c (fan)
2

Prick the potatoes all over with a fork, then rub olive oil over the skin and put them in the oven for 1 hour.
3

While the potatoes are baking, cut the broccoli into florets. Then steam it for 5 minutes. Either use a steamer basket like I did or steam in the microwave.
4

Take the potatoes out of the oven to cool but keep the oven on. While the potatoes are cooling, completely melt the butter, heat up the milk until it's warm, grate the 170g of cheese and finely chop the broccoli.
5

Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the potato into a large bowl and put the potato skins onto an oven proof tray.
6

Add the milk and butter to the potato in the large bowl and mash until smooth. Then add the broccoli, cheese, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt and a generous pinch of black pepper. Mix very well.
7

Put the potato mixture back into the skins then top the potato halfs with extra cheese. Then put the potatoes back into the oven for 15-20 mins until the cheese is melted and golden.
