Ingredients

  • 3 whole Russet potatoes, with skin, washed

  • 60 ml (¼ cup) 1% cottage cheese

  • 60 ml (¼ cup) 1% sour cream

  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) milk

  • 80 ml (⅓ cup) grated low-fat marbled cheddar cheese

  • 1 green onion, finely chopped

  • Pepper and salt, to taste

Preparation

  1. Place the whole potatoes in the air fryer basket, then cook at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender (a fork should easily insert). Let cool for 5 minutes.
  2. On a cutting board, place the potatoes horizontally and slice off the top. Scoop out the flesh, leaving about a 1 cm border. Set aside the flesh.
  3. In a bowl, mash the potato flesh with a potato masher. Add the cottage cheese, sour cream, milk, pepper, and salt, and mix well to create a smooth filling.
  4. Stuff the potatoes with the filling. Sprinkle grated cheese on top.
  5. Place the potatoes back in the air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  6. Top with green onion and serve.

Notes

Best consumed immediately for optimal results. Keeps up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in the air fryer.

Note: If you want to make the original version with bacon, opt for turkey bacon, which is much lower in fat! Use 1 slice per potato.
