Ingredients
- 1 large potato
- 3 oz cucumber
- 3 oz cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup low fat cottage cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Microwave the large potato for nine minutes. A medium potato needs seven minutes and a small potato needs five minutes. To add extra potatoes allow an extra four minutes for a large potato, three minutes for a medium potato and two minutes for a small potato. This is using a 1000w microwave – adjust for slightly longer or shorter if yours is a higher or lower power. Don't forget to pierce the potatoes with a fork a few times.1 large potato

NOTES
- Tips: It is cooked in the microwave to save time, but you can absolutely use the oven as well.
- Make-ahead? Yes, the potato can be reheated, add the topping fresh.
- Freezable? Yes, the potato itself can be frozen, I’d keep the toppings fresh.

I’m not a foodie, although I do love eating. I believe food should serve us and our goals, not hinder. Taking control and responsibility for what I eat is important to me. Lots of veggie protein is my way forward.
