# Components:

→ Potatoes

01 - 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed

03 - 1 cup Alfredo sauce
04 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
05 - 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

# Directions:

06 - Bake potato shells for 10 minutes to crisp. Flip each and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
07 - In mixing bowl, combine steamed broccoli, Alfredo sauce, half of the mozzarella, and half of the Parmesan. Mix until evenly distributed.
08 - Spoon broccoli-Alfredo mixture into each crisp potato shell, mounding slightly. Top evenly with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
