Did you know that Idaho grows about 28% of the potatoes grown in the United States. Â Well thank you Idaho for making sure that we always have enough spuds to make us happy!!
These fantastic little beauties are sure to please with broccoli, bacon and plenty of cheese. Â Â These can be whipped in no time and can be served with your favorite chicken, steak or fish or maybe just a salad. Â 
Maybe you can be successful at getting the little ones to like broccoli!
 Of course who doesn’t like broccoli when you pair it with all these goodies.

- 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 large russet baking potatoes
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Can these be frozen well? If so, how would you cook after? Thank you
I have never frozen them although I would think you could after baking, thaw in fridge and microwave to reheat.
I have recooked mashed potatoes in oven at 350 for 20-25 minutes and the come out fluffy and good. I think it would work with the twice baked as well
Yes I have done that too and they are yummy!
