Microwaving cooks the potatoes in a flash; briefly baking them at a high temperature once they're stuffed toasts the cheese topping. Ingredients:
4 (8-ounce) baking potatoes |
2 teaspoons butter |
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic |
1/2 cup fat-free milk |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded gruyère cheese, divided |
1/2 cup chopped cooked ham |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 500°.
2. Pierce the potatoes with a fork, and arrange in a circle on paper towels in microwave oven. Cover potatoes with damp paper towels. Microwave potatoes at high 12 minutes or until done, rearranging after 6 minutes. Let stand 2 minutes. Split open potatoes; scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Reserve shells; set pulp aside.
3. Heat butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Add milk; bring to a simmer. Pour milk mixture over potato pulp. Add 1/4 cup cheese, ham, and remaining ingredients, mixing well. Stuff shells with potato mixture. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup cheese. Bake at 500° for 8 minutes or until the cheese begins to brown.
