Let’s make it

  1. 1

    Scrub potatoes and pierce several times with a fork. Microwave on a microwave-safe plate for 10–15 minutes, turning halfway, until completely tender. Let stand for 3 minutes; timing depends on size and microwave.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, steam broccoli in a covered saucepan with a little water for 6–8 minutes until tender and steaming hot. Drain.

  3. 3

    Split potatoes, carefully fluff the flesh, and season with salt and pepper. Fill with broccoli, cheddar, and yogurt.
