4 servings
Ingredients
4 medium Potatoes
1/4 cup Skim Milk
2 Eggs, beaten
4 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
2 Scallions, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions
Cut baked potatoes in half lengthwise and use a spoon to carefully scoop out the baked potato flesh and place in a bowl. Set the potato skin shells aside on a cookie sheet.
Mash the potato flesh (or run it through a ricer) and add the milk, eggs, cheese, mustard, scallions and salt and pepper to taste.
Pile potato mixture into the skin shells on the cookie sheet and top with a little shredded cheese. Return them to a 425°F oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted. For an elegant look, pipe the potato mixture into the shells.
