salt and pepper, optional
4 eggs

Let cool for 10 minutes. Cut an oval out of the long side of the potato and put into a small bowl. Scoop potato out, leaving a half-inch shell. Mash potatoes and combine with broccoli sour cream, and salt and pepper, if desired. Spoon mixture back into potatoes, dividing evenly. Arrange potatoes in a circle in microwave oven.
