Makes 6 servings

Twice-Baked Potatoes
Active Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes

Ingredients

6 medium (5 oz each) Yukon Gold potatoes

6 large shallots, sliced 1/8 in. thick

Nonstick spray

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup reduced-fat garlic and herb cheese spread

1 cup shredded Colby or Cheddar cheese

Garnish: finely chopped parsley and red bell pepper

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 400°F. You’ll need a rimmed baking sheet coated with nonstick spray. Prick each potato a few times with a fork. Place on 1 side of baking sheet. Scatter shallots in an even layer on other side. Coat shallots with spray.

2. Bake 25 minutes, tossing shallots once, or until golden; remove. Continue baking potatoes 35 minutes or until soft.

3. When cool enough to handle, cut potatoes in half. Scoop insides into a medium bowl. Mash until smooth, adding milk a little at a time. Beat in salt and cheese spread, then Colby cheese. Stir in half the shallots. Spoon into skins.

4. Decrease oven temperature to 375°F; return potatoes
to rimmed baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes or until hot. Sprinkle with remaining shallots. Transfer to serving platter; garnish.
