Jacket Potatoes W/Herbed Cottage Cheese (Diabetic Friendly)

"This recipe is from the "Low-Fat Cooking" cookbook of the Australian Womens Weekly Cookbook series & was described as suitable for diabetics. It seemed so basic to me & I was certain it would have already been posted to RZ, but I was unable to find it. DH & I have been eating baked potatoes this way for eons w/the addition of garlic & McCormick Lemon & Pepper Seasoning Salt, so I showed them as opt adds. Time does not include time to bake or microwave potatoes. *Enjoy* !"

  • Cut a deep cross in ea potato & gently press sides to open the cross. Fill & mound herbed cottage cheese equally among the 6 potatoes & serve immediately.
  • NOTE: If you want a smooth texture or simply want to disguise the cottage cheese from the kids, use a stick blender to puree it till smooth & then mix in the herbs & seasonings. They'll prob think it's the best sour cream they've ever tasted. :-).

Reviews

  1. I mixed in some of the potato and "stuffed" my potatoes with this combo. Tasted just like my homemade pierogi filling! Thanks for posting a scrumptious recipe twissis. Made for your win in Football Pool 2010 - Conference Championships.
     
  2. This was a really terrific combination! My cottage cheese was a bit dry so I added a Tbsp or two of plain yoghurt. It didn't taste like much to start with but once it was added to the hot potato...WOWZERS! Thank you for posting this lovely recipe!!
     
  3. I scaled this back for 1 medium potato and baked 6 1/2 minutes in the microwave making for a quick lunch, while the potato cooked I made up the mix also adding some finely sliced red shallot and served it with a simple cucumber and tomato salad with a little extra parmesan shaved over the potato and salad. Thank you twissis, made for Healthy Choices ABC Tag Game.

Tweaks

  1. This was really tasty! I admit I did dd a little butter to the potato, but otherwise followed the recipe. I used garlic but used fresh ground pepper instead of lemon pepper as that's what I have. It added a lovely, fresh flavor to the potatoes, with lots and lots of herb goodness! Thanks so much for posting, Twissis! Made for Everyday is a Holiday tag game.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
