Annice, my wife found a good twice baked potato recipe in one of our
Weight Watchers Cookbooks. Here goes:

Twice Baked Potato

2 tsp margarine 1/4 cup each finely chopped mushrooms and scallions
(green onions) 2 oz Gouda, Swiss or Cheddar cheese, shredded 1 Tbsp
chopped fresh parsley or 1 tsp parsley flakes 1/4 tsp salt Dash white
pepper 1 baked potato (6 ounces)

In a small skillet heat margarine until bubbly and hot; add mushrooms
and scallions and saute until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat
and stir in cheese, parsley, salt and pepper; set aside.  Cut potato in
half lengthwise. Scoop out pulp from potato halves, leaving about 1/4
inch thick shells.  Combine potato pulp with cheese mixture; spoon half
of mixture into each reserved shell. Set stuffed potato halfs on
non-stick baking sheet and broil until potato is thoroughly heated and
browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Makes two servings.
