Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Medium-sized baking potatoes (e.g., Russet or Yukon Gold)
- 1 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
Rub each potato with a thin layer of olive oil, then place them directly on the oven rack.
Bake the potatoes for 50-60 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and a knife can easily pierce through the center.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the herbed cottage cheese topping. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, parsley, chives, dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Using a sharp knife, make a cross-shaped cut on the top of each potato. Gently squeeze the sides to open up the potato.
Spoon the herbed cottage cheese mixture generously into the opened potatoes.
Serve immediately and enjoy a warm, diabetic-friendly meal.
