Ingredients
4 small sweet potatoes1 tablespoon olive oil1/2 cup chopped onion2 cloves minced garlic1 1/2 teaspoons dried rubbed sage1/4 teaspoon salt1/8 teaspoon black pepper3/4 cup Daisy Brand Cottage Cheese4 teaspoons chopped pecans
Directions
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Pierce the skin of the potatoes several times to allow the steam to escape. Bake on the oven rack for 1 hour or until tender. Let the potatoes stand until cool enough to handle.

Meanwhile, in an 8-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the onion and garlic for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onion is tender. Stir in the sage, salt and pepper. Place the cottage cheese and onion mixture in the bowl of a food processor; blend until almost smooth, scraping the sides as needed. Cut off the top 1/3 of each potato. Using a spoon, scoop the flesh into the processor bowl, being careful not to tear the potato skins; discard the potato tops. Pulse the cottage cheese and potato mixture several times until blended. Spoon the potato mixture back into the skins. Place the filled potatoes in a baking dish. (The potatoes can be covered and refrigerated at this point for up to 24 hours.)

Reduce the oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle the pecans over the tops of the potatoes.

Bake uncovered 25 to 35 minutes or until the pecans are toasted and the potatoes are hot. (If the filled potatoes were refrigerated, remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes topping with pecans; top and bake as directed.)

    I have a very similar recipe, but instead of cottage cheese, I use lowfat cream cheese. This sounds good too, and I will definitely give it a try. Thank You. - 10/28/13

    Sounds interesting and am going to try...will not throw out the potato tops though..to me that is a waste..I will use them as a side to scrambled eggs in the am for breakfast, or something like that..maybe add to soup! - 10/28/13

    This was very good. However, it wasn't worth the trouble it took to make it. I will make it again with some changes. I will not put them back into the shell I will put them in a baking dish. - 10/31/13
