SPICY SPUD 
1 russet potato
1/4 c. low fat cottage cheese
1 tbsp. salsa
1 tbsp. chopped cilantro
Paprika

Scrub potato and pierce with fork on both sides. Microwave on high 3 to 5 minutes or until potato feels soft when pressed (turn potato over after 2 minutes for more even cooking). Let stand 2 to 3 minutes. Slice potato in half and scoop pulp leaving some border.

In small bowl mash potato pulp with cottage cheese, salsa and cilantro. Spoon mixture back into potato skin and sprinkle with paprika. Microwave 1 to 2 minutes until heated.

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