Lean and Luscious Potato Split Preparation

Pierce potato with tines of fork; microwave on HIGH about 8 minutes until potato is fork-tender. Halve and scoop out potato, leaving 1/4-inch shells. In bowl mash potato pulp. Mix in cottage cheese and enough milk for a moist but firm consistency. Mix in sunflower nuts, green pepper, carrot, onions, half the Cheddar cheese and the pepper to blend thoroughly. Season with salt. Mound into potato shells, dividing equally. Sprinkle with remaining Cheddar cheese. Microwave on HIGH about 2 minutes until cheese is melted and potatoes are heated through. Garnish with tomatoes. NOTE: Microwave cooking times are based on a 700-watt microwave. Adjust cooking times to your own oven.
