Equipment

  • Microwave
  • Small Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 4 medium Potatoes
  • 4 cups Mixed Vegetables
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Fat-free, or 1/2 cup plain, nonfat yogurt
  • 1/4 tsp Oregano
  • 1/4 tsp Basil
  • 1 dash Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Wash and scrub potatoes under running water and pat dry.
  • Pierce potatoes on each side with a fork (4-5 times). Microwave on high until tender, 3-4 minutes per potato (12 – 16 minutes when using 4 potatoes). Turn potatoes over using an oven mitt or tongs. Cook for an addition 2-3 minutes, if needed. Set aside.
  • Steam mixed vegetables in the microwave with 3 tablespoons of water in a covered dish for 2 minutes until hot.
  • In a small bowl, mix sour cream or plain yogurt with herbs and pepper.
  • Split each potato in the center and fill with steamed vegetables. Top with sour cream and serve hot.

Notes

  • Top with your favorite type of vegetables.
  • For a different flavor, try adding ¼ teaspoon garlic powder or chopped scallions to sour cream or yogurt.
  • Use sweet potatoes for additional health benefits.
