Loaded Cottage Cheese Baked Potato

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce potatoes several times with a fork.

2. 2

   Rub potato skins with olive oil and coat generously with sea salt. This makes the skin crispy and delicious.

3. 3

   Bake directly on the oven rack (with a sheet below to catch drips) for 50-60 minutes, until skin is crisp and inside is tender.

4. 4

   Slice potatoes open lengthwise and fluff the inside flesh with a fork.

5. 5

   Divide the cottage cheese between the hot potatoes. Top with shredded cheddar and pop back in the oven for 2 minutes just to melt the cheddar.

6. 6

   Finish with chopped green onions, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
