This stuffed spud can stand on its own for lunch or accompany a dinner entree for a heartier meal. If you’re in a hurry, microwave the potatoes on high-power for about 15 minutes, instead of baking them.

Ingredients

4 large potato(es)
2 small garlic clove(s), minced
10 oz frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup(s) fat-free cottage cheese
3/4 cup(s) low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450ºF. Pierce potatoes in several places with a fork. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add broccoli and cook, stirring frequently, 2 minutes. Stir in cottage cheese and cheddar cheese and cook, stirring until cheddar melts, about 2 minutes.
  • Cut a 1-inch slit into each potato and squeeze to create an opening. Stuff each with about 1/2 cup filling.
