Toppings for Baked Potatoes / Ricotta Cheese and Spices

Toppings for Baked Potatoes

Getting ready:

• When the potato is cool enough to touch, cut an “X” in the top.
• Squeeze the potato sides; put your fingers on either side of the potato and push inward. This will loosen the insides of the potatoes.
• Take a fork and slightly mash the insides, and form a hole—or a “well”—in the center. You can fill the hole with any of the following yummy toppings!

You can use these alone or mix some together.

• 1/4 cup Low-fat plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup Salsa
• 1/2 cup Broccoli, cooked
• 1-2 Tbsp Reduced-fat shredded cheese

 

Ricotta Cheese and Spices

2 cups Part skim ricotta cheese
1/4 tsp Black pepper
1/2 tsp Dried parsley

Mix together and top your potato.
