Stuffed Baked Potatoes

 

Serves: 6

 

 

6 baking potatoes large                                       

½ cup cottage cheese low fat                                 

Garlic to taste                                                

4 green onions minced                                          

Paprika                                                        

2 tablespoons parmesan cheese                                  

 

Wash and dry the potatoes.  Prick the skins and bake at 425º for 60 minutes or until done. 

 

Cut a slice from the top of each potato and scoop out the pulp.  In a blender, whip the cottage cheese until creamy.  Mash the potato pulp and blend enough of the whipped cottage cheese to make a light, fluffy mixture.  Stir in green onions.  Spoon the mixture back into the shells, mounding it slightly. 

 

Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet, dust the tops with Parmesan Cheese and paprika and return to the oven until lightly browned.  AHA p. 344 115 calories.
