Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes
- 2 cups broccoli florets
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
Seasonings and Extras:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup green onions
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Warm your oven to exactly 400°F and grab a large baking sheet.
- Dice 4 medium potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes, ensuring each piece is roughly the same size.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the potatoes, then sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
- Spread the seasoned potato cubes across the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t crowded or overlapping.
- Roast the potatoes for precisely 25 minutes, creating a golden crisp exterior.
- Pull out the sheet and scatter 2 cups broccoli florets among the potatoes, gently mixing them together.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes until broccoli is tender and slightly charred.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese across the hot vegetables, allowing it to melt naturally.
- Dollop ½ cup sour cream over the cheesy vegetables and garnish with ¼ cup chopped green onions.
- Return the pan to the oven for a final 5 minutes to warm the cheese and blend the flavors.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are cut into uniform, bite-sized pieces for even roasting and consistent cooking.
- Grate cheese fresh for the best melting texture and richer flavor compared to pre-shredded varieties.
- For a lighter version, swap full-fat sour cream with Greek yogurt and use reduced-fat cheese.
- Customize the dish by adding crispy bacon bits, diced ham, or using different cheese blends like sharp cheddar or pepper jack.
