These are good served hot, warm, or cold. They make excellent picnic or brown bag lunches and are also wonderful for a cool supper on a hot night.

2 baked potatoes

1 (4-1/2-ounce) can deviled ham

1/4 cup nonfat, cholesterol-free mayonnaise dressing

1/4 cup sweet pickle relish

Cut a thin slice from the top of each potato. Remove the pulp from the potatoes, being careful not to tear the shells. Place the potato pulp in a mixing bowl and mash. Set the shells aside.

Add the deviled ham to the potatoes and mash thoroughly. Add the mayonnaise and pickle relish; stir until well-mixed. Heap into the potato shells. Two servings at 455 calories.

Irish Taco

Serve this international approach to sandwich-making with extra taco sauce and chopped fresh cilantro.

2 baked potatoes

2/4 cup hot cooked lean ground beef

1/2 cup taco sauce

1/2 cup 20% fat-reduced grated cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

Split the tops of the potatoes. Scoop the pulp from the potatoes, one at a time, and place the pulp from one of the potatoes in a plastic bag in the freezer to use at another time. Mash remaining potato pulp in a mixing bowl. Flatten the 2 potato shells to form "taco shells" and keep warm.

Add the cooked ground beef to the mashed potato and mix well. Add the taco sauce and cheese, and mix thoroughly. Place the mixture into the potato shells. Top with shredded lettuce and diced tomato. Serves two at approximately 485 calories.
