Bake the potatoes as you normally would, until done. Once the potatoes are cool, scoop out the insides, leaving about an 1/8 of an inch on the skin. Mash the potatoes with the mayo and the cottage cheese, then add the remaining ingredients. Fill the potatoes evenly with the mixture, and sprinkle extra cheese on top. Bake until heated through, and top with a salsa of half of one red bell pepper, diced, one small tomato, a quarter of a green bell pepper, a pinch of the fresh herbs you chose for the potato, 2 Tablespoons spring onion, a squeeze of lemon, and 1 Tablespoon good quality olive oil. Serve with salad or fresh string beans. |
