Broccoli Sausage Stuffed Potatoes

Large red or Russet potatoes baked then hollowed. Filling blends tender broccoli florets with browned Italian sausage, sharp cheddar, and creamy butter-milk mash. Quick steam for broccoli locks color and crunch, then chilled fast. Sausage pan-fried for deep caramelization. Baking finishes with cheese melted and browned. Balanced texture: soft potato shell with savory, slightly crisp topping. Sub potato with Yukon gold for more buttery taste. Swap sausage for chorizo for smoky heat or use turkey sausage for leaner dish. Milk can be almond or oat for dairy-free, butter replaced with olive oil tied into sausage fat. Keep potato walls 1/4 inch thick to hold stuffing without breaking. Crisp base by trimming potato bottoms avoids wobble in oven. Look for bubbling cheese and slight browning to know done. Serves 4 hungry eaters.
