The ingredients for Potent Potatoes are:

4 Russet baking potatoes
2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 medium onions, chopped
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or crushed red chilies, or more or less to your taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon cardamom powder or seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup tamari (soy sauce)
1 cup nonfat cottage cheese

Here is how you make Potent Potatoes:

Bake potatoes at 400 F until soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, approximately 45 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet, add onions. Saute for 10 minutes, then add ginger and cook for another 5 minutes or until well done. Add garlic and spices. Add as much as 1/2 cup of water if the mixture sticks to pan. Cook until all ingredients melt together. Add tamari. Turn off heat. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise when cool enough to handle. Scoop out insides, leaving enough potato in the shell so that it does not tear. Combine the potato insides with onion mixture, and add cottage cheese. Refill shells, forming mounds on top and serve warm.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user NORCYNKAT.
