Ingredients

Scale

For the Base:

  • 4 medium potatoes (washed and diced)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

For the Toppings:

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices of bacon (cooked and crumbled)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 green onions (sliced)
  • 1 tbsp parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the Potatoes:
    • In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Roast the Potatoes:
    • Spread the potatoes in an even layer on a large, greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Add the Broccoli:

  1. Prepare the Broccoli:
    • While the potatoes roast, steam or blanch the broccoli for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still vibrant green.
  2. Combine and Roast:
    • Add the broccoli to the pan with the roasted potatoes. Toss lightly and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.

Add the Toppings:

  1. Add Cheese and Bacon:
    • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes and broccoli. Top with the crumbled bacon. Return the pan to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  2. Garnish:
    • Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle with sour cream. Sprinkle with green onions and parsley.

Serve:

  1. Enjoy Hot:
    • Serve immediately as a side dish or a main course with your favorite protein.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, skip the bacon and add toasted nuts or seeds for crunch.
  • Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a twist.
  • This dish reheats well; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
