Diabetic Picante Potato Skins
potatoes baking 3 ea ---
salsa or picante sauce 3 Tbsp ---
margarine,melted 1 Tbsp ---
reduced-fat, shredded Monterey Jack cheese with jalapenos 3/4 cup
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Do not bake the potatoes in a 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.
