INGREDIENTS
1 medium baked potato (~150g)
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese (~113g)
1/4 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese (~28g)
3 slices turkey bacon
1 tablespoon fresh chives
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potato clean, pierce it several times with a fork, and bake directly on the oven rack for about 45-60 minutes until tender.
While the potato is baking, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once done, let it cool and then crumble or chop into bite-sized pieces.
When the potato is done, slice it open lengthwise and scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create a cavity, leaving a thin layer to help maintain structure.
Mix the scooped-out potato with the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Spoon the creamy cheese mixture back into the potato shell, then top evenly with the crispy bacon pieces and a sprinkle of fresh chives.
Optional: Place the stuffed potato back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes to slightly melt the cheese on top, then serve warm.
