Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Thoroughly wash and scrub potatoes. Pierce potatoes with a fork. Wrap each potato tightly with foil.

- About 10 minutes before potatoes are done, fill a medium saucepan about 3/4 full of water and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Add broccoli and gently boil for 5 minutes. Drain broccoli in a colander.
- Remove potatoes from foil, place in a large bowl and coarsely chop potatoes with a knife (skin included).
