This recipe is from the Low-Fat Cooking cookbook of the Australian Womens Weekly Cookbook series & was described as suitable for diabetics. DH & I have been eating baked potatoes this way for eons w/the addition of garlic & McCormick Lemon & Pepper Seasoning Salt, so I showed them as opt adds. Time does not include time to bake or microwave potatoes. *Enjoy* . Ingredients:
8 ounces low fat cottage cheese |
3 green onions (finely chopped) |
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (grated) |
2 tablespoons fresh basil (chopped) |
1 tablespoon fresh chives (chopped) |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (opt add) |
mccormick lemon-pepper seasoning (opt add to taste) |
6 baking potatoes (baked or microwaved till fork-tender) |
Directions:
1. Combine cottage cheese w/onion, parmesan cheese, herbs & opt adds (if using).
2. Cut a deep cross in ea potato & gently press sides to open the cross. Fill & mound herbed cottage cheese equally among the 6 potatoes & serve immediately.
3. NOTE: If you want a smooth texture or simply want to disguise the cottage cheese from the kids, use a stick blender to puree it till smooth & then mix in the herbs & seasonings. They'll prob think it's the best sour cream they've ever tasted. :-).
