Here's a dish that makes potatoes the main attraction. It's adapted from 500 Fat-Free Recipes by S. Schlesinger. It is also quite filling depending on the size of the potatoes.

1. Preheat oven to 375F

2. Spread 1 Tbs. Cottage cheese over each potato half

3. Add 1/4 cup baked beans to each potato half

4. Top the baked beans on each potato half with 1 Tbs. Grated cheese and 1 Tbs. Scallions.

5. Bake until cheese melts, about 5 to 10 minutes.

I usually serve this with what I call my Kitchen Sink Salad - everything in it but the kitchen sink - lots of veggies (greens, corn and peas from the freezer, radishes, jicama, etc.) or else I serve it with stir-fry veggies. Hope this puts potatoes back on the menu. Patty.
