Cheese-Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Ingredients

• 4 large baking potatoes
• ¼ cup soft butter or margarine
• 1 cup creamed cottage cheese
• 3 Tbsp fresh chives or 2 tsp dried chives
• 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
• salt and pepper to taste
• ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
• paprika

Method

1. Scrub and bake the potatoes in a 400 degree oven one hour. When done, cut a thin lengthwise slice from the top of each. Scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl.
2. Mash well with a fork and blend in the butter, cottage cheese, chives, mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Blend thoroughly. Pile lightly into the potato shells, leaving the top surface rough. Sprinkle with the grated cheese, then paprika. Bake in a 450 degree oven, 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
