  • Total Time: 75 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 can black beans (or chickpeas), drained and rinsed
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Additional cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  5. Stuff the mixture back into the potato skins, adding additional cheese on top.
  6. Toss the stuffed potatoes under the broiler for 3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Notes

For quicker preparation, microwave the potatoes for 6 minutes before baking. Feel free to customize the filling with any leftover veggies or preferred proteins.
