Steps
- 01
Scrub both potatoes, pierce each 6–8 times with a fork, and wash and cut broccoli into florets. Use only microwave-safe dishes without metal.
- 02
Space potatoes apart and microwave at 900 W for 4 minutes. Turn and heat 3–5 more minutes. Rest 2 minutes. If a fork cannot easily reach the center, heat in 1-minute bursts.
These are reference times for 900 W; do not assume the same timing works at 700 W or 1000 W. Let potatoes rest two minutes, test the middle with a fork and microwave another minute at a time if still firm. - 03
Place broccoli with 30 ml water in a deep microwave-safe bowl with a vented lid. Heat at 900 W for 2–3 minutes until tender, then drain.
Leave the microwave-safe lid vented so steam escapes. After heating, lift the lid gradually away from your face and move the hot bowl with heatproof mitts. - 04
Split hot potatoes lengthwise and lightly mash inside with a fork. Divide broccoli, 50 g cheese, 50 g yogurt, 1 g salt and 0.3 g pepper over them.
- 05
Microwave at 900 W for 30–60 seconds until the cheese melts and filling is hot throughout; add 15-second bursts if needed. Beware of steam.
