Baked Potato With Ricotta

Description: I was playing around with toppings for baked potatoes and I came up with this. Very simple and tastes good. The "residents" here at the home don't like sour cream w/out sugar(!), I think it is a Cuban thing, so we came up with another alternative.

Ingredients:

• 4 baking potatoes, srubbed
• 2 cups skim milk ricotta cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Bake potatoes 45 minutes or until tender.
3. Mix remaining ingredients.
4. Serve as topping for potatoes.
5. You can use all other toppings as well, like crumbled bacon bits as a garnish, green onions instead of onion powder, combine cheddar cheese with less ricotta and -- .
