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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
Step 3
Rub each potato with a thin layer of olive oil, then place them directly on the oven rack.
Step 4
Bake the potatoes for 50-60 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and a knife can easily pierce through the center.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 7
Using a sharp knife, make a cross-shaped cut on the top of each potato. Gently squeeze the sides to open up the potato.
Step 8
Spoon the herbed cottage cheese mixture generously into the opened potatoes.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy a warm, diabetic-friendly meal.
