Instructions
1
Wash the unpeeled potatoes under running water to remove any traces of soil. Fill a pan with water and bring to a boil. Boil the potatoes in their skins until soft, about 20 minutes. Check they are soft by pricking with a fork. Drain and let cool (this step is important because if the potatoes are not fully cool, the skin will fall off when you cut them).
2
When the potatoes are at room temperature or cold, cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Don’t remove all the flesh. You need to leave enough so that the skin doesn't break while you're filling them. Chop up the potato flesh and set aside for later.
3
Wash the broccoli and use a knife to cut into small pieces. If you have a large head of broccoli, half will be enough.
4
Mince the garlic and the onion.
5
Lightly fry the garlic and onion in a large skillet with a little oil, stirring often. When the onion has softened, add the broccoli and fry for a couple of minutes.
6
Then add the chopped potato flesh and season with a little salt. Cook the contents of the skillet over medium heat for 6–7 minutes, stirring regularly.
7
Now fill the potato halves with this mixture and they're ready to serve.
Tips & Tricks
If you want, finish by sprinkling the filled potato halves with a little cheddar cheese and put them in the oven at 400ºF for 10 minutes.
They are also tastier if you use a little soy sauce instead of salt.
