Ingredients

  • 4 Good sized Russet potatoes
  • Broccoli florettes, enough to cover 4 potatoes
  • Salt
  • Freshly Cracked Pepper
  • 1 recipe Hard Apple Cider Cheese Fondue

Directions

  1. Microwave Method: Scrub the potatoes, pierce with a fork, and place on a paper towel in the microwave. Cook on high, flipping over every 5 minutes until easily pierced with a knife. Set aside.

  2. Oven Method: Preheat oven to 400 degrees, scrub potatoes, pierce with fork, rub with oil and place on the center rack of the oven. Place a foil lined baking sheet below to catch drips and bake for 45 minutes to an hour or until easily pierced with a fork.

  3. Meanwhile, make the fondue and steam the broccoli.

  4. Place the potatoes on individual plates. Cut with a sharp knife down the centers and squeeze potato together so the insides pop out a bit. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the broccoli on top of the potatoes and spoon the cheese fondue on top.
