The Ultimate Stuffed Potato

Serves 4
Recipe By: Tyler Florence

4medium-sized Idaho potatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
About 2 cups -- plus more for topping, shredded sharp white Cheddar
2 head broccoli -- florets, blanched in salty water
1/2 pounds bacon -- medium dice, cooked until crisp
2 tablespoons chives -- chopped
Freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Begin by baking the potatoes, as this will take the longest. Place
potatoes onto a baking sheet. Pierce with a fork, drizzle with olive
oil and season with salt. Place into preheated oven and bake for
about 1 hour.

While they are baking prepare the stuffing. Make a mornay sauce by
combining the butter and flour over medium heat and then whisking in
the milk. Fold in about 2 cups cheese and stir until melted. Once
melted, remove from heat and fold in the cooked broccoli florets,
crispy bacon bits, chopped chives and season with salt and freshly
ground black pepper.

When the potatoes are done make a cut across the top and squeeze it
from the bottom so a small pouch opens up and the bottom is squared
off. Spoon the filling over the top of the potato, sprinkle with
cheese, season with pepper, to taste, and then pop in the oven for 2
more minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
