Ingredients

4 Potato medium (2-1/4" to 3-1/4" dia) Russet Potatoes
2 Cup (1" pieces) Cauliflower
1 1/2 Cup Broccoli
1 Dash Salt
1 Dash Pepper
1/2 Cup Buttermilk
1 Tbsp chopped Chives
1 Cup, shredded Cheddar Cheese

Directions

Pierce the potatoes several times with a fork.

Place in the microwave and use your baked potato setting until the potatoes are cooked through, turning half way.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine cauliflower and broccoli with a little salted water and cook, covered for about 3 minutes.

Remove the broccoli with a slotted spoon and set aside, continue cooking the cauliflower until soft, about 5 more minutes.

Drain and set aside in a large bowl.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise.

Scoop the flesh out into the large bowl with the cauliflower, leaving a ¼" shell.

Place the potato shells on a baking sheet.

Mash the removed potato with a potato masher or purée with a hand blender along with the cauliflower.

Add the buttermilk and salt, mash until smooth.

Fold in half of the shredded cheddar and the chives.

Spoon the potato/cauliflower mixture back into the shells.

Top with the cooked broccoli and remaining cheese.

Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted.

Enjoy!
