1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Warm baked potatoes; cut in half lengthwise
½ cup Nonfat cottage cheese or ricotta cheese
1 cup Vegetarian beans; drained if soupy
½ cup Grated nonfat mozzarella or cheddar cheese; (or a mix)
½ cup Chopped scallions; (optional)

Directions

Here's a dish that makes potatoes the main attraction. It's adapted from 500 Fat-Free Recipes by S. Schlesinger. It is also quite filling depending on the size of the potatoes.

1. Preheat oven to 375F

2. Spread 1 Tbs. cottage cheese over each potato half 3. Add ¼ cup baked beans to each potato half 4. Top the baked beans on each potato half with 1 Tbs. grated cheese and 1 Tbs. scallions.

5. Bake until cheese melts, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Per Sv: 244 cal; 14g prot; 46g carb; 6.9g fiber; .4g fat; 255mg sod; I usually serve this with what I call my Kitchen Sink Salad - everything in it but the kitchen sink - lots of veggies (greens, corn and peas from the freezer, radishes, jicama, etc.) or else I serve it with stir-fry veggies.

Hope this puts potatoes back on the menu. Patty.
