This hearty side dish will bring good taste and a dash of holiday color to any table, promises Mary Bauer in Wichita, Kansas. “It’s great with almost any entree.” TIP: Adding a cup of leftover diced chicken to the vegetables makes this a quick lunch or meal-in-itself, suggests Mary.

Ingredients

1 large baking potato
1/4 cup chopped fresh broccoli
1/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon diced pimientos
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 cup fat-free plain yogurt
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon paprika
Pepper to taste

Directions

Scrub and pierce potato. Bake at 375° for 1 hour or until tender. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, saute the broccoli, mushrooms and pimientos in oil until vegetables are tender; set aside.
When potato is cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out pulp, leaving a thin shell.
In a small bowl, mash the pulp. Stir in 2 tablespoons cheese, yogurt, salt, garlic powder, paprika and pepper. Stir in broccoli mixture. Spoon into potato shells. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Place on a baking sheet.
Bake at 375° for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
