Stuffed Red Bliss Potatoes

I'm sure if you read this blog, you know I love potatoes - any kind!!  I mentioned on a previous post that I've found another blog that tries to cut calories in dishes.  So, I went to that site again and found this recipe.  It's so good and you wouldn't know it's low-cal!  These may become my "go to" potatoes!  They are creamy and delicious!


 
Ingredients:
8 small red bliss potatoes
1 tbsp light mayo
2 tbsp fat free sour cream
4 tbsp olive oil
6 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp fresh thyme or rosemary
3 tbsp grated Parmesan
Salt & pepper to taste
Paprika

Directions:
In a medium pot, cover potatoes with water  & add 1 tsp salt.  Bring to a boil & cook until soft, about 12 minutes.  Drain and run under cool water.  Set aside
While the potatoes cook, in a small pan, add oil and garlic and cook on low heat about 10 minutes, until soft.  Remove garlic and discard oil.  Mash garlic
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a medium bowl, combine garlic, mayo, sour cream, thyme or rosemary & Parmesan.  Add Salt and Pepper to taste.
Cut potatoes in half, and using a spoon, gently scoop out the inside of the potato.  Leave 1/4" shell inside the potato
Mix the potato with the other ingredients.  I just "mashed" the potato with a fork into the other ingredients
Scoop the potato mixture back into the potato shells and sprinkle paprika on top
Place in a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.
