  • Yield: 16 servings

Fontina and mozzarella stand in for Cheddar, and sun-dried tomatoes and parsley add a fresh touch.

Ingredients

4medium russet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/4cup fat free sour cream
2ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
2ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1/4cup sliced green onion tops
2tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
-- Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F. 
  2. Bake potatoes 50 minutes, or until tender. Let cool. Cut each potato in half. With a spoon, scoop out pulp leaving 1/4-inch of potato in each half. Cut each half in half again to form quarters. Season with salt and pepper.  Bake potato quarters 15 minutes. (This will crisp them up so that they can be picked up easily.) 
  3. Mash 1 cup potato pulp with a potato masher (save remaining pulp for a later use). Stir in the sour cream, cheeses, tomatoes, green onions and parsley. Mixture will be sticky and hold together. With your hands, divide the mixture evenly among the potato skins, pressing the mixture into the skins. Sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper and bake 15 minutes. Serve warm.
