INGREDIENTS
6 small Yukon
Gold or red potatoes (about 2 pounds)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons fat-free milk
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup finely-grated white cheddar cheese (2 ounces)

with oil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place potatoes on a jelly-roll
pan (or baking sheet) coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400 degrees
for 35 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven; cool 10 minutes.
Cut potatoes
in half crosswise; cut off a small portion of the rounded edge so
the potatoe will stand upright. Carefully scoop out about 1 teaspoon
pulp from each half, leaving the shells intact. Combine potato pulp,
milk, butter, pepper, cheese, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in
a bowl. Spoon about 1 heaping teaspoon potato misture into each
potato shell. Arrange stuffed potatoes on jelly-roll pan (baking
sheet); top each with 1/2 teaspoon chopped salmon. Bake at 400 degrees
for 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
