Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- While the potatoes are baking, steam the chopped broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven. Layer the steamed broccoli over the potatoes, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling some smoked paprika or crushed red pepper flakes over the potatoes before baking.
- Feel free to substitute with your favorite cheese, such as Monterey Jack or a vegan cheese alternative for a dairy-free version.
- Add protein to the dish by tossing in some cooked bacon bits or grilled chicken before serving.
