Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. With a fork, pierce each potato in several places. Microwave until tender when pierced with a fork, about 12 minutes, turning halfway through.
  3. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving a ¼-inch border and transfer the flesh to a medium-sized bowl.
  4. Add the cream and skim milk to the bowl with the potato and mash with a potato masher.
  5. Stir the cumin, salt, pepper, black beans, green onions and ½ cup cheddar cheese into the potato mixture.
  6. Place the potato skins on a baking sheet and divide the potato mixture evenly between the skins. Divide the remaining ¼ cup cheddar cheese between the stuffed potatoes.
  7. Bake the potatoes until the cheese is melted and the skins are slightly crisp, about 15 minutes.
  8. Garnish with green onions and serve with salsa.
