Low Fat Broccoli Stuffed Potatoes

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes clean, prick them with a fork, and place them directly on the oven rack. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife.

2. While the potatoes are baking, steam the broccoli until crisp-tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine the steamed broccoli, sour cream, grated Parmesan, green onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

4. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly until safe to handle. Carefully cut each potato in half lengthwise.

5. Gently scoop out the flesh of each potato, leaving about a 1/4-inch shell. Place the potato flesh in a separate bowl and mash it lightly with a fork.

6. Combine the mashed potato flesh with the broccoli mixture, stirring until well incorporated.

7. Stuff each potato skin with the broccoli and potato mixture, mounding it slightly on top. Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.

8. Sprinkle the stuffed potatoes with a dash of paprika for added color and flavor.

9. Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and lightly golden on top.

10. Serve your delicious Low Fat Broccoli Stuffed Potatoes hot from the oven, garnished with extra green onions or a dollop of low-fat sour cream, if desired. Enjoy!
