Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degree.

Place potatoes on rimmed baking sheet and bake for 60 to 90 minutes, or until fork-tender.

In small bowl, combine cottage cheese, salt, and pepper.

Remove potatoes from oven and cut slit in top of each. Squeeze ends together, forming pockets. Spoon 1/4 cup cottage cheese mixture into each potato. Sprinkle evenly with Cheddar cheese and top each potato with salsa and chopped scallion. Serve immediately.

Notes;

For faster baked potatoes, you could "bake" them in your microwave, according to the manufacturers' directions.
