Recipe For Wendys Baked Potatoes

(COPYCAT) WENDY'S BROCCOLI CHEESE BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• Start the potatoes baking by washing them and then, with wet skin, sprinkling the skin with salt. Set directly on the rack in a 350 F. oven to bake for about an hour.
• While the potatoes are baking, start the cheese sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the onion and garlic and saute until soft and tender. Sprinkle the flour over and stir to coat the onions and garlic with flour. Stir in the milk and then the squash. Cook until the sauce has thickened.
• Pour the sauce into a blender, add the cheese and blend until smooth (or use an immersion blender). Return to the pan and stir in a pinch of nutmeg and salt & pepper to taste. Cover and reduce heat to low to keep warm until the potatoes are done.
• When the potatoes are nearly done, thaw the broccoli in the microwave and chop. Return to the microwave to get it nice and hot. Take the potatoes out of the oven when a fork poked in the middle goes in easily. Slice them in half lengthwise and set each tater on a plate. Use a fork to lightly mash the flesh. Sprinkle with salt & pepper and spread (or drizzle) with butter. Add the broccoli and again, salt & pepper. Pour the cheese sauce over top and enjoy!

• Use a fork to fluff the potatoes.
