ingredients:
-4 medium sweet potatoes
-1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
-pepper (to taste)
-1/3 cup non fat cottage cheese
-1 tbsp smoked paprika
-3 scallions, sliced
Preparation
Pre-heat the oven to 450˚F.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and rub them with olive oil and pepper. Bake until tender, about 35-40 minutes.
Halve the potatoes and scoop out about a third of the inside of each into a medium size mixing bowl. Add the cottage cheese to the sweet potato insides. Season with paprika and mash.
Fill the potato skins with the mashed potatoes and place the potato shells (skins) on a baking sheet. Place back into the oven for about 15 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden brown.
Remove the potato skins from the oven and sprinkle scallions.
