Baked Stuffed Potatoes

Mark here...this recipe was my contribution to the Mad Men pilot night...I believe I may have re-appropriated a Tyler Florence recipe

Ingredients:
2 Baking Potatoes
White Truffle Oil
Sea Salt
Pepper
Bacon
Chopped Broccoli
Butter
Flour
Milk
Grated Cheddar
Chives

Preheat the oven to 400.  Coat the 2 potatoes with the oil, salt and pepper and bake for about an hour.

While the potatoes are baking, chop the bacon and fry in a frying pan.  Blanch the broccoli in boiling salted water for about a minute or two.

To make the filling, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large sauce pan.  Add 1 tablespoon of flour and cook another minute.  Add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the milk slowly.  Then add about 1/4 cup of grated cheddar. Add the bacon, broccoli and chives.

At this point, when the potatoes are done, I just cut them in half, scooped out some filling and mixed it with the sauce.  Then I re-filled the potatoes, topped with some more cheddar and baked a couple more minutes.
