TWICE-BAKED POTATOES 
4 small baking potatoes
2 oz. reduced calorie cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp. snipped chives
1/4 tsp. dried basil, crushed (optional)
1/8 tsp. salt
dash pepper
3 to 4 tbsp. skim milk
paprika

Prick potatoes with fork.

Bake at 375°F for 45 to 60 minutes or until tender. Cool slightly. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out each potato half, leaving a thin shell. Set shells aside.

Put pulp into a small mixer bowl. Add cream cheese, chives, basil, salt and pepper; beat until smooth. Add milk, a Tbsp. at a time, beating until potato mixture is fluffy. Spoon potato mixture into shells. Sprinkle with paprika. Place on a baking sheet. Cover loosely with foil.

Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes. Uncover potatoes and bake 10 minutes more or until heated through.

Serves 8. Can be microwaved.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
