BROCCOLI AND CHEDDAR-STUFFED POTATO SKINS WITH AVOCADO CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Pierce potatoes several times with a fork and wrap in paper towels. Microwave on high for 13 to 15 minutes, until potatoes are cooked through. Remove from microwave and cool until potatoes are easy to handle. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop all but 1/8 inch of the inside of the potato, leaving skin intact. Reserve scooped potato flesh for another use.
• Brush both inside and outside of potatoes with oil and sprinkle with salt. Place potatoes, skin-side down, on a baking sheet and bake until skins are crisp and edges are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, prepare the filling. Steam the broccoli until crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside. Spray a nonstick pan with cooking spray and preheat over medium-high heat. Add the Canadian bacon and cook until crisp stirring often, about 3 to 4 minutes. Reserve.
• To make avocado cream, combine scallion whites, avocado, sour cream lime juice, cilantro, garlic and salt in the small bowl of a food processor and process on high until smooth. About 30 seconds.
• Toss the broccoli with cheese and spoon filling evenly among potatoes. Lower oven to 400 degrees F and return potatoes to oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the avocado cream on top of broccoli-filled potatoes, then top with scallion greens and 1 teaspoon crisped bacon bits.

BROCCOLI SOUP WITH CHEDDAR POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork. Microwave until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Cook the bacon in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Add the onion to the pot with the drippings; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Quarter the potatoes lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh; set aside. Arrange the potatoes skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet; coat with cooking spray. Bake until golden, 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the potato flesh, 6 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the pot with the onion and stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Add the broccoli and reduce the heat to maintain a simmer; cook until the broccoli is tender, about 8 minutes. Working in small batches, puree in a blender. Return to the pot and stir in the half-and-half; season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the potato skins from the oven; flip and top with the cheese. Continue baking until bubbling and golden. Top each serving of soup with the bacon and serve with the potato skins.
