Note 1: Use frozen broccoli for convenience. Thaw before chopping to make it easier to dice.
Note 2: Shred sharp Cheddar cheese fresh off the block for better flavor. Avoid pre-shredded cheese, as it may not melt as smoothly.
Note 3: Thoroughly clean potatoes and then follow the directions below to prepare your potatoes:
Bake using this baked potato recipe.
Air Fryer: Prick with a fork, and rub with oil and salt. Air fry at 400°F for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway.
Microwave: Scrub potatoes, prick with a fork, and microwave on high for 5–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
Instant Pot: Place potatoes on a trivet, add 1 cup of water, and pressure cook on high for 12–20 minutes, depending on size.
Slow Cooker: Scrub potatoes, prick with a fork, and rub with oil and salt. Cook on high for 4–5 hours or low for 7–8 hours.
Note 4: The sauce should coat the back of a wooden spoon. Drag your fingertip across the back of the spoon; if it leaves a clear line, the sauce is ready.
Nutrition Note: The nutrition information is calculated based on 6-ounce potatoes. Potato size varies greatly, so use this as a guide.
Storage: Store the potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge and the sauce separately in another container. To reheat, warm the sauce on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk to thin if needed. Reheat the potatoes in the oven, air fryer, or microwave.

These were great! I grew up eating broccoli cheese potatoes but I hadn't eaten one in years. I had enough cheese sauce leftover to have it for several lunches during the week. I especially liked the tips included for baking the potatoes. I had never made baked potatoes like this before but I will from now on!
