Ingredients

  • 4 small russet potatoes about 8 ounces each
  • 2 tablespoons light cream cheese softened
  • 5 tablespoons skim milk
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 ¼ cups canned black beans rinsed and drained
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • ¾ cup cheddar cheese divided
For Serving:
  • sliced green onions for serving
  • salsa for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  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.
