Method
-
1
Precook and drain
Boil potatoes in water about 30 minutes until tender. Add small broccoli florets for the final 5 minutes and drain everything well. Test potato centres with a knife; boil longer if needed.
-
2
Fill and assemble
Cool potatoes about 5 minutes, halve lengthways and scoop out some flesh while leaving a sturdy rim. Mix flesh with roughly chopped broccoli, yogurt, salt and pepper and return all filling.
-
3
Cook
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 180 °C. Brush skins thinly with oil, space in basket and grate Gouda over. Bake about 10 minutes at 180 °C. Filling must be hot through again and cheese lightly golden.

4
Check and serve
Lift with a broad spatula rather than gripping the filled top. Serve two halves each. If basket is too small, bake in sequence and allow extra time.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ about Air fryer broccoli stuffed potatoes
Not with this method. Brief baking heats cooked filling but does not cook a raw potato centre.
Mix it with broccoli and return it all, rather than discarding.
Scooping too deeply or handling while very hot weakens them. Leave a rim and cool briefly.
Use only clean undamaged skin without green patches. Do not choose green or heavily sprouted potatoes.
