Gluten Free Living – 2014

Skinny Stuffed Parmesan Potatoes are awesome. I mean, totally, incredibly, irresistibly awesome! These delectable potatoes turned out to be some of the BEST I’ve ever eaten! I mean they were mouthwatering, sumptuous, and amazing! In fact, I wanted to eat a whole lot more than I did. But the best thing about this recipe is that it is healthy, low calorie and gluten free. Only 150 calories per serving! This skinny version of stuffed potatoes rocks!

These double stuffed baked potatoes are topped with roasted minced garlic, salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary. A delicious Italian blend of cheese that includes mozzarella, parmesan, asiago, romano, fontina and provolone is sprinkled over top. The cheese blend and herbs are what makes these potatoes so fantastic. The fontina and provolone cheeses especially add such a delicate and sensational flavor to Skinny Stuffed Parmesan Potatoes.

This healthy, lower calorie version of stuffed potatoes has an incredibly fantastic taste. These potatoes just float down your throat and each bite is succulent and spectacular. This is a marvelous side dish to any main dish meal. However, you can also eat this as a meatless main dish.

The first time I made this recipe I only baked two extra large russet baking potatoes. I wished I’d baked about 10! They were THAT good. Using only parmesan cheese is okay for this recipe. But you really need to find an Italian cheese blend that includes all of these cheeses to obtain the same flavorful taste. This is a delicious substitute for LOADED baked potatoes which include bacon, cheese, sour cream or pulled pork.

Those potatoes surely have their place on any menu. But they weigh in at 450 to over 1,000 calories! Granted, many times you’re making the potatoes an entree. But still they are laden with calories. This skinnier, 150 calorie version does cut down on the calories quite a bit. While they are not calorie-free, they are wonderful!

I initially posted this recipe in January 2014. My pictures were semi-okay, but not as nice as I would have liked. I recently remade the recipe (February 2020). This time I made a double batch of the recipe. I served it for our church’s college kids one Sunday night along with Chicken Parmesan Casserole. Everyone was licking their chops after a bite of those two recipes.

My next door neighbor is part of the college group. She asked me what that green stuff was on top of the potato. “It’s thyme and rosemary,” I told her. She said she’d never tasted those herbs before but absolutely loved them! I guarantee you will love these potatoes whether you eat them as a side or a Meatless Mondays dish. They are so mouthwatering your family will want these on the dinner menu often! No kidding.

I served Skinny Stuffed Parmesan Potatoes with Baked Parmesan Chicken the first time I made it. I could have eaten all of the potatoes in one sitting by myself, they were so fantastic. The second time I made it with Chicken Parmesan Casserole. These potatoes were great with both of these entrees.

    Sorry, I missed how these were “Skinny” 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup of cheese plus milk and potato??? Sounds awesome, but not skinny!

      I never use whole milk in a recipe unless I specify I’m using whole milk. I generally use 2%. Most stuffed potato recipes are filled with bacon, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, sour cream and other ingredients. While all delicious, they are much higher in calories than this recipe is. You can make these delicious potatoes even skinnier by cutting back on the butter and using less Italian cheese blend. Thanks for stopping by.
