Ingredients
Scale
- 6 baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt + black pepper
- 1 head broccoli, small florets
- Pinch of salt
- 200g cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley or dill
- Salt + pepper
- Tiny star cut from puff pastry or cheese (for garnish)
- Grated Parmesan or breadcrumbs (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss potato halves in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast cut side down for 30–35 minutes, until golden and tender. Slightly cool, then scoop a little center to make a well.
- Boil salted water. Blanch broccoli florets for 2 minutes until bright green. Shock in ice water. Drain well.
- Mix cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pipe or spoon into each potato.
- Stack broccoli florets on top from largest to smallest to create a “tree.” Add a tiny cheese or puff pastry star on top. Sprinkle Parmesan or breadcrumbs for “snow.”
Notes
- Serve with garlic yogurt dip or lemon herb aioli.
- Use vegan cream cheese and yogurt for a plant-based option.
- Prep ahead and assemble before serving; great warm or at room temperature.
