  • 2 tablespoons Skim Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 Green Onion finely sliced
  • 1 small Jalapeño seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup Canned Sweet Corn drained

  • 2/3 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese divided
  • Salsa
  • Avocado
  • Fresh Cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Preheat toaster oven to 400°F.
  • Use a sharp knife or fork to stab the potatoes on each side. Rub with olive oil and place on a baking sheet or rack.
  • Bake potatoes for 45 to 60 minutes until a knife slides easily into each one.
  • Remove potatoes and cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the potato pulp leaving a 1/4-inch shell inside the skins.
  • Mash pulp with yogurt, milk, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir in green onion, jalapeno, corn, tomatoes, black beans and half of the shredded cheese.
  • Stuff the empty shells with the potato mixture, sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake at 350F for 10 minutes until warmed.
  • Broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and browned.
  • Serve with a dollop of yogurt, salsa, avocado and cilantro or your favorite toppings.
  • Stop after filling the shells and store your potatoes refrigerated in a covered container for 2 to 3 days or wrapped in plastic and frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Bake refrigerated potatoes in a 350°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes before broiling. Bake frozen potatoes at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes.
