Proving the simplest recipes are often the best, this stuffed spud is comfort food you can feel good about. Enjoy it on its own for lunch or as an accompaniment to a dinner entrée for a heartier meal. The secret to this potatoes creaminess isn't a heap of butter, but the curds of cottage cheese that melt into the hot potato lending a rich mouthfeel. Sure, cheddar and broccoli are a classic combo, but you could also use cauliflower and mozzarella or broccoli rabe and Parmesan here.

Ingredients

Uncooked potato

4 large

Garlic

1 clove(s), small, minced

Frozen chopped broccoli

10 cup(s), thawed and squeezed dry

Fat free cottage cheese

1 cup(s)

Shredded reduced-fat Mexican-style cheese

¾ cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Pierce potatoes in several places with a fork. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes.
  2. 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.
  3. Cut a 1-inch slit into each potato and squeeze to create an opening. Stuff each with about 1/2 cup filling.
  4. Yields 1 stuffed potato per serving

Notes

If you're in a hurry, microwave the potatoes on high-power for about 15 minutes, instead of baking them.
