Loaded Potatoes

Serves: 4

Print this Recipe

Prep: 15 min
Cook: 5 min
Stand: 5 min


   4 medium unpeeled red potatoes
   1 package (8 ounces) sliced mushrooms (3 cups)
   3/4 cup chopped fully cooked ham
   8 medium green onions, sliced (1/2 cup)
   1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (red pepper)
   1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
   1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese (2 ounces)


1. Pierce potatoes with fork. Arrange potatoes about 1 inch apart in circle on microwavable paper towel in microwave oven. Microwave uncovered on High 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. (Or bake potatoes in 375° oven 1 to 1 1/2 hours.) Let potatoes stand until cool enough to handle.

2. Spray 4-quart Dutch oven with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Cook mushrooms in Dutch oven 1 minute, stirring frequently; reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 3 minutes; remove from heat. Stir in ham, onions and red pepper. Cover and let stand 5 minutes.

3. Split baked potatoes lengthwise in half; fluff with fork. Spread 1 tablespoon of the sour cream over each potato half. Top with ham mixture and cheese.

FOOD for THOUGHT
These loaded potatoes are a tasty comfort food. If you don't like the taste of green onions or ham, leave them out for a creamy-
textured topping that may help soothe mouth sores. If you find sharp Cheddar is too strong right now, try ricotta or mozzarella.

"Baked potatoes are a major comfort food, so doctoring them up to make a meal really helps keep my appetite up. Plus, I can add as much butter and cheese and sour cream as I want without any guilt because I need the calories." -ANNE R.
