Ingredients
- 3 baking potatoes (about 1 pound total)
- 3 tablespoons prepared salsa or picante sauce
- 1 tablespoon margarine, melted
- 3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese with jalapenos
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Do not bake the potatoes in the microwave for this recipe, because the skins will become too soft. Prepare a cookie sheet with nonstick pan spray.
- Wash the potatoes and poke them with a fork or the tip of a knife in several places. bake the potatoes 1 hour, or until tender; cool.
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the pulp, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells. (Reserve the pulp for another use.) Cut each shell in half lengthwise; place on a cookie sheet.
- Combine the salsa and margarine; brush over the insides of shells. Bake until crisp, about 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the skins with cheese; return to the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve warm.
