Step 1

Wash and poke holes in each potato. Place potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400 F° for 1 hour.

Step 2

**Potatoes will be very hot when they're done cooking. Use a hot pad or kitchen towel while handling the hot potatoes**

Step 3

Carefully remove potatoes from oven. Allow to cool for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise so you'll have 8 halves total. With a spoon, scoop out the potato leaving a 1/4 inch in the skin. Place all the scooped out potato in a large bowl. Set the potato skins onto a cookie sheet.

Step 5

Mash the potatoes with a fork. Then add the cooked broccoli, ranch dressing, sour cream, garlic powder and one cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix together well.

Step 6

Divide the mixture evenly and scoop into each of the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheddar cheese. Bake at 400° F. for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve warm and enjoy!
