Make
- Heat oven to 500F / 260C degrees.
- Brush a sheet pan with cooking oil and spread Brussels sprouts on top. Cover tightly with foil and steam in the oven for 10 minutes. (Watch this video on roasting vegetables at high temps.)
- While the sprouts are steaming, halve potatoes and gently scoop out centers.
- In a large mixing bowl mash potato filling with sour cream and season with some salt and pepper. Add shallots, broccoli, and cheese. Mix well. Spoon filling into potato halves.
- Reduce oven to 425F / 218C degrees. Uncover Brussels sprouts and move them to one half of the pan. Drizzle sprouts with balsamic vinegar and some olive oil and season with some salt and pepper.
- Put filled potato halves on the other half of the pan.
- Return pan to the oven and bake until filling is hot and Brussels sprouts are dark golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over sprouts.
- Serve potatoes with green onions on top. Enjoy roasted Brussels sprouts on the side!

So delicious, but a lot of work to make! Cut down on the fiddliness by mashing the potatoes with the filling and baking it all together as a casserole.
0 HelpfulThis is a great make ahead and freeze for later recipe. I baked my potatoes rather than microwaving them. The brussel sprouts were fantastic.
0 HelpfulWe made this vegan by using dairy-free cheese/sour cream. Definitely one of the best recipes! The potatoes were microwaved perfectly and the brussels sprouts were delicious. A little time consuming but absolutely worth it for a great comfort meal.
0 HelpfulMicrowaving 7 potatoes a once was incredibly time consuming and not possible to cook them all in the amount of time specified in the recipe. We ended up with half cooked potatoes. The dish itself was good, but the undercooked, dry potates were not.
0 HelpfulAre an entire pound of b sprouts myself! So much for leftovers. Loved these Brussel sprouts!
