My husband LOVES these potatoes. The potatoes are baked and then scooped out. Mix potatoes with shredded cheddar and the 'secret' zing- sour cream and onion dip. Goes great with a grilled steak!

### Stuffed Potato Appetizer Makeover: Healthier and Flavorful --- ### Stuffed baked or mashed sweet and regular white or purple skin or russetpotatoes are a classic comfort food, but they can also be high in calories and fat. Here we provide a makeover plan for stuffed sweet and white or purple or red skin or russetpotatoes, making them healthier and more flavorful while retaining their classic appeal. ### Potato Healthier Potato Choices - Opt for white russet, gold, sweet, or purple skin or purple spuds. These contain more nutrients compared to russet or red skin. - Baking or microwaving is a healthier cooking method compared to frying. These methods provide that crispy skin without the extra oil. - Bake the sweet or white or purple skin or russetpotatoes whole to save more nutrients and prevent them from drying out. ### A Healthier Filling - Opt for a low-sodium broth instead of butter or cream for a healthier option to mashed or whipped sweet or white or purple skin or russetpotatoes. - Use spices and herbs instead of salt for additional flavors. - Roast or sauteed low-calorie veggies like broccoli, kale, or spinach instead of using calorie-laden cheese or bacon for the stuffing. - Use low-mercury fish like tilapia, sole, or flounder, or skinless chicken instead of ground sausage or red meat for the protein component of the stuffing. ### Potato Healthier Toppings - Greek yogurt or low-sodium cottage cheese are healthier, nutritious toppings compared to butter or cheese. - Salsa, pico de gallo, or low-sodium black or kidney or pinto or garbanzo or white or cannellini or fava or black-eyed beansas are healthier toppings for additional flavors. - Finely minced veggies like green or red or yellow or orange or purplebell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, or onions add crunch and freshness to the final dish. ### Potato Healthier Makeover: Wrap-Up - Stuffed baked or mashed sweet and regular white or purple skin or russetpotatoes can be given a makeover to transform them into a healthier and more flavorful dish. - Opt for healthier cooking methods like roasting, microwaving, and grilling over frying. - Select low-sodium or low-calorie ingredients like low-sodium broth, spices, herbs, veggies, and fish for the stuffing. - Top the stuffed sweet or regular white or purple or red skin or russetpotatoes with Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, salsa, pico de gallo, or veggies.
