Cottage cheese loaded baked potatoes

Cottage cheese-loaded baked potatoes: flavorful oven-baked potatoes. The filling of ham, herbs, and cottage cheese is skinny yet full of taste. A great side dish.

With potatoes, you can vary in many ways. And I do so endlessly. What I really like is to bake them and then fill them. But yeah sour cream does not make you slim.

But what's creamy yet with fewer calories and tastes great. And together with chives, parsley, and ham as a filling in your potato. Yummy!

• If you want to tell if your potatoes are ready to serve, take a fork and press it into the potato. If it goes in easy (without resistance), your potato is done.

Notes

1. Can I prep any part ahead? Yes. Mix the filling and keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Bake the potatoes fresh for the best texture.

2. My cottage cheese filling looks a bit loose. What should I do? Let it sit in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes before filling the potatoes. That helps it firm up slightly.

3. Can I use smaller potatoes? Yes, but reduce the baking time. Smaller potatoes also have less room for filling.

4. How do I stop the potatoes from bursting in the oven? Prick them a few times with a fork before baking, so steam can escape. 

5. Storage

• Fridge: Store leftover baked potatoes and filling separately, if possible. Keep them covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheating: Reheat the potatoes in the oven or microwave. Spoon on the filling just before serving.
• Make-ahead: Mix the filling up to 1 day ahead and keep it chilled. Bake the potatoes fresh for the best result.
