Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 4 strips bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasonings:
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss 4 peeled and cubed potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper on a baking sheet.
- Spread potatoes evenly and roast for exactly 20 minutes until golden and tender. Your potatoes should look crispy and smell fragrant.
- While potatoes roast, steam 2 cups broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly soft. Drain and set aside.
- Mix ½ cup sour cream and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise in a small bowl. Season with a tiny pinch of salt and pepper to create your creamy sauce.
- Remove potato pan from oven. Arrange steamed broccoli over the roasted potatoes.
- Drizzle the creamy sauce across the vegetables. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 4 crumbled bacon strips over the top.
- Return pan to 400°F oven for 10 minutes until cheese melts completely and edges turn golden.
- Pull from oven and garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired. Serve immediately while hot and cheese is bubbling.
Notes
- Swap the bacon for crispy chickpeas or roasted sunflower seeds to make this dish vegetarian and still keep that satisfying crunch.
- Choose a waxy potato like Yukon Gold for the best texture, which holds its shape while getting golden and crispy around the edges.
- Steam broccoli just until bright green to preserve nutrients and prevent a mushy texture that can ruin the entire dish.
- When making a creamy sauce, use room temperature sour cream and mayo to ensure smooth blending without lumps.
