Best 2 Lighter Parmesan Spinach Stuffed Potatoes With Vegan Variation Recipes
LIGHTER PARMESAN SPINACH-STUFFED POTATOES WITH VEGAN VARIATION
Entered for safe-keeping. From Evelyn Tribole's "More Healthier Homestyle Cooking." Calories, fat and cholesterol were reduced by eliminating the oil for cooking the spinach, using fat-free cottage cheese in place of full-fat cottage cheese, and eliminating the butter. Note (my addition), vegans can create a substitute for cream cheese by straining soy yogurt to make a soy cream cheese (pour freshly made soy yogurt into two layers of cheesecloth fitted into a strainer. Next, tie up the ends to form a bag and hang the bag over your sink or over a pot for a few hours. When it has stopped dripping and is spreadable) or by mashing a block of tofu with a fork and mixing in a few teaspoons of lemon juice. When time is tight, potatoes may be cooked in the microwave according to manufacturer's directions.

- To make the vegan version, use vegan butter and cheese, and omit the eggs.
