Yield 6 servings; each potato has about 115 calories

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large baking potatoes
1/2 cup or more low-fat cottage cheese
4 scallions, minced
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Paprika to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Wash and dry potatoes. Prick the skins. Bake for 60 minutes, or until done.
  • Cut an oval slice from the top of each potato, and scoop out the pulp. In a blender, whip cottage cheese until creamy. Mash the potato pulp, and blend in enough of the whipped cottage cheese to make a light, fluffy mixture. Stir in the scallions. Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly.
  • Place stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet. Dust the tops with Parmesan cheese and paprika, and return to the oven until lightly browned.
