Proving the simplest recipes are often the best, this stuffed spud is comfort food you can feel good about. Enjoy it on its own for lunch or as an accompaniment to a dinner entrée for a heartier meal. The secret to this potatoes creaminess isn't a heap of butter, but the curds of cottage cheese that melt into the hot potato lending a rich mouthfeel. Sure, cheddar and broccoli are a classic combo, but you could also use cauliflower and mozzarella or broccoli rabe and Parmesan here.
