Broccoli and Cheese Twice Baked Potatoes

These twice-baked potatoes are so cheesy, stuffed with broccoli and cheese, plus some hidden cauliflower, but believe me, no one will know!

Double baked potatoes

Loaded baked potatoes are so quick and easy to prepare. These are a little easier if you add some cauliflower puree to the potatoes! A couple of other baked potato recipes that we love are those baked potatoes with loaded Philly cheese steak, which are the perfect main dish for the meat and potato lover in your life, or these loaded turkey chili baked potatoes are great for a healthy main course that even the kids will love. And if you like baked sweet potatoes, these Sloppy Joe Baked Sweet Potatoes are a must!

These cheesy baked potatoes were first microwaved (you can bake them, of course), then scooped out and mashed with cooked cauliflower, buttermilk, and cheese. Then they went back to the clams and garnished with steamed broccoli and more cheese, yummy!

If you're looking to sneak some veggies into your family's meal, this is the perfect side dish – ideal with chicken, steak, or pork chops. I often add cauliflower to my mashed potatoes and no one really notices. My very popular baked potato soup is the perfect example.

Child-friendly, vegetarian, gluten-free and easy to prepare. It took less than 30 minutes to make. You can easily prepare them and heat them just before serving. I served them with garlic lover roast beef and I had a happy family!

What are the benefits of potatoes?

Not only are potatoes low-carb, low-carb, and naturally gluten-free, but they also have some great health benefits. Some are:

Excellent source of nutrients and vitamins such as vitamins C, B6, potassium, iron, magnesium and zinc. These are great for bone health, heart health, and blood pressure regulation.
Rich in antioxidants.
They are very high in fiber and thus promote good digestion.
Made from resistant starch, which is a beneficial source of nutrients for the good bacteria in your gut. This in turn also helps in regulating blood sugar.
No fat, sodium or cholesterol
They're super filling too, which is great for anyone trying to lose weight!
