Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the potato thoroughly under cold water, scrubbing away any dirt.
- Pat the potato dry with a paper towel.
- Pierce the potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Rub the potato with 1 tbsp of olive oil to coat the skin.
- Place the potato on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the potato is tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the potato from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- While the potato is baking, heat a small pan over medium heat.
- Add the spinach to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the potato is cool enough to handle, cut it in half lengthwise.
- Gently scoop out most of the potato flesh, leaving a small border around the edges to maintain the shape of the potato skins.
- Place the scooped-out potato flesh in a bowl.
- Add the wilted spinach and 2 oz of low-fat cottage cheese to the bowl with the potato flesh.
- Season with a dash of black pepper.
- Mash and mix everything together until well combined.
- Spoon the spinach and cottage cheese mixture back into the potato skins, dividing it evenly between both halves.
- Place the stuffed potatoes back on the baking sheet.
- Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and slightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before serving.
- Enjoy your spinach and cottage cheese stuffed jacket potato as a healthy and delicious meal or side dish!
Tips:
- Choose a large, evenly-sized potato to ensure it bakes evenly and holds the stuffing well.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a bit of minced garlic to the spinach while sautéing.
- If you're looking for a bit of crunch, try topping the stuffed potato with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs before baking.
- Feel free to experiment by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the stuffing for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Serve your stuffed potato with a side salad or grilled vegetables to make it a complete, balanced meal.
