twice baked


Posted by Picasa
i love twice baked potatoes.  if you buy a small potato (size of your palm) and make your filling with low fat, healthy ingredients, there is no reason why you can't enjoy these.  potatoes are actually a good source of potassium, vitamin c, and vitamin b.  scrub and wash the skin, that's where all the nutrition comes from.  bake the potato for 45 minutes or so at 400 degrees.  once cool enough to handle, cut off the top third of the potato and scoop out the flesh.  mix with a splash of fat free milk, low sodium chicken broth, fresh chives, a bit of shredded cheese, salt, and pepper.  fill the skin and pop back in the oven for 10-15 minutes. you know what else is good in these?  greek yogurt with a blend of your favorite fresh herbs.  i like using basil, chives, parsley, and thyme.
