Make sure to eat the potato skin too – that’s where much of the fibre is found. Opt for fat-reduced Swiss cheese to lighten the calorie content.

Ingredients

Method

Scrub and pat potato dry; prick all over with fork. Microwave on paper towel on high until tender, about 5 minutes. (Or bake in 400°F/200°C oven, about 1 hour.) Let cool enough to handle.

Cut in half; scoop out flesh, leaving 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick walls. Brush inside and out with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cut each half lengthwise in half; arrange, cut side up, on foil-lined baking sheet. Bake in 450°F (230°C) oven, turning over once, until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Turn cut side up; sprinkle with cheese. Cook until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Serve topped with yogurt and green onion. Makes 4 servings.
