YOU SAY POTATO, I SAY FIT CHEESE
THE baked potato is a family favourite and is perfect for those colder winter nights when you want something comforting but don’t have the time to cook a full meal.
Despite the comfort provided by the traditional baked potato, the conventional topping of cheese and beans can become dull over time and even stodgy, particularly if you’re looking to make some healthier decisions about your diet. And so, I’ve compiled a list of toppings that are healthy, tasty and easy to make.
Baked Potato with Fit Cheese and Beans
If you’re craving the traditional baked potato topping of cheese and beans but want to make it healthier, then this is the perfect option. By using Fit Cheese, which is low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free, you can enjoy all the flavour and comfort of the simple baked potato without the guilt.
Ingredients
· Fit Cheese finely grated
· 2 large Jacket potatoes
· No added sugar Heinz Beanz (400g)
Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 200C / 180C fan.
Using a fork, prick your potatoes all over and bake in the oven for 1 hour.
Before your potatoes are due to come out of the oven, warm your beans on a medium heat.
Once your potatoes look golden-brown, remove them from the oven.
(Quick tip: To make sure your potato is cooked all the way through, pierce the centre with a knife)
Cut your potatoes across the middle and squeeze the sides to open. Then cover your potato with your beans and finely grated Fit Cheese.
Baked Sweet Potato and Fiery Beans
The sweet potato is full of flavour and takes slightly less time to cook than the traditional jacket potato. This makes it a great alternative if you’re rushed for time but still want to make something delicious. Also, sweet potatoes are packed with vitamins, minerals and fibre: so they are perfect for those seeking to make a healthy but satisfying dinner.
Ingredients
· 2 large sweet potatoes
· 1 tbsp paprika
· 1 large onion chopped
· 2 garlic cloves crushed
· 2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
· Mixed beans (400g)
· Chopped tomatoes (400g)
· 2 tbsp of guacamole
Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 200C /180C fan.
Using a fork, prick your potatoes all over and bake in the oven for 50 minutes.
While your potatoes are cooking, make the beans. To do this, cook your onion until soft then add the garlic, sugar, paprika and Worcestershire sauce. Then, tip in the drained beans and chopped tomatoes and allow to simmer until your potatoes are ready.
Remove your potatoes from the oven.
Cut your potatoes across the middle and squeeze the sides to open. Serve your sweet potatoes with the beans on top and a dollop of guacamole.
Loaded Baked Potatoes
These baked potatoes are loaded with a spring onion, sweetcorn, and Fit Cheese filling … making them delicious and healthy.
Ingredients
· 2 large baked potatoes
· Butter (30g)
· 0% fat yoghurt (150g)
· 4 small spring onions finely chopped
· No added sugar sweetcorn (200g)
· Fit Cheese finely grated (150g)
· Small handful of chives finely chopped
Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C fan.
Using a fork, prick your potatoes all over and bake in the oven for 1 hour.
Once the potatoes are a golden brown on the outside but soft on the inside, remove them from the oven and cut them in half. Scoop out the inside of the potatoes and mash with the butter and yoghurt, then gently mix the spring onions, sweetcorn, and most of the cheese (save some for the top).
Turn the oven up to 200C /180C fan.
Spoon the filling back into the potato skins; top with the rest of your cheese and place back in the oven until the cheese is evenly melted.
(Quick tip: serve with some delicious homemade coleslaw to make this dish extra special)
