• Be sure to bake your potatoes in advance, so they have some time to cool before handling them. I like to bake mine without foil. If you do bake the potatoes in aluminum foil be sure to unwrap them right out of the oven so the skins don't get soggy. Once they are cool enough cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the center, leaving about a 1/2 inch layer of potato. Brush the potatoes lightly with melted butter and put under the broiler for about 6 to 8 minutes or until they look a little browned. Add a little shredded cheese and broil again for 1 to 2 more minutes or until the cheese is melted.
• Remove from oven onto a serving plate. Scoop a large spoonful of cooked broccoli onto each potato skin, then drizzle with melted cheese sauce, recipe below. Top with a dollop of sour cream and, if desired, sprinkle with a little bit of red pepper flakes.

Melted Cheese Sauce:

• *note: Be sure to use cheese that you have shredded by hand, pre-shredded cheese is already coated with flour and will mess up the consistency.
• Toss the shredded cheese in the corn starch til coated. In a small sauce pan combine evaporated milk, salt, and cheese over medium heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until cheese is completely melted and sauce becomes smooth. Then whisk in a little bit of Franks hot sauce, this won't make it too spicy but gives it a little more flavor. You can use more or less to taste.
