Ingredients:

4 potatoes
850g
2 cups cauliflower
360g
1.50 cups broccoli
280g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/2 cup dried milk
120g
1 tbsp chives
3g
1 cup cheddar cheese
110g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Bake Potatoes:
Wash and scrub the potatoes. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and can easily be pierced with a fork.
3. Steam Vegetables:
While the potatoes are baking, steam the cauliflower and broccoli florets until they are tender (about 5-7 minutes). Once done, set them aside to cool slightly.
4. Prepare Filling:
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato around the skin to form a sturdy shell. Place the scooped-out potato in a large mixing bowl.
5. Mash Ingredients:
Add the steamed cauliflower and broccoli to the bowl with the scooped-out potato. Add a dash of salt, a dash of black pepper, and the dried milk. Mash the mixture together until well combined and mostly smooth. You can leave some chunks if you prefer a chunkier texture.
6. Mix Cheese and Chives:
Stir in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and the chopped chives into the mashed vegetable mixture.
7. Stuff Potatoes:
Spoon the mashed mixture back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly. Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet.
8. Bake Again:
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the tops of the stuffed potatoes. Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are slightly golden.
9. Serve:
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious and nutrient-packed broccoli and cauliflower twice baked potatoes!

Tips:

- Choose medium-sized potatoes for even baking and portion control.

- Steam or microwave the broccoli and cauliflower until they are just tender to retain their nutrients.

- For a smoother texture, use a potato masher or hand mixer to blend the potato mixture.

- Feel free to add other seasonings like garlic powder or paprika for an extra layer of flavor.

- Top with additional chives and a sprinkle of extra cheese before baking for a crispy, golden finish.

- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and cheese alternatives.

These Broccoli and Cauliflower Twice Baked Potatoes are sure to become a household favorite.
