Low FODMAP notes
In this section, I share information for ingredients that are either frequently asked about or have suggested serving sizes to remain low FODMAP. We each have unique tolerance levels and nutritional needs. Please listen to your body (and, if possible, work with a FODMAP-trained dietitian) to determine what is best for you. For more low FODMAP serving size info, please refer to the Monash FODMAP app and FODMAP Friendly website or app.
Butter contains negligible carbohydrates (FODMAPs). It is a naturally low-lactose dairy product.
Kale contains minimal FODMAPs. It is considered a FODMAP-free food. Enjoy according to your appetite.
Potatoes (red or yellow), with or without the skin, are a low FODMAP food up to 500 grams per serving. Keeping the skin adds a little extra low-FODMAP fiber.
Instructions
To make these low FODMAP stuffed potatoes, simply:
Microwave the potatoes. Poke potatoes on all sides with a fork. Microwave for 5 minutes or until tender and cooked. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise, stopping about an ½-inch from the bottom. Spread 1 teaspoon butter onto the inside of each sliced potato.
Cook the bacon and kale. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add diced bacon and cook, stirring occasionally until almost done. Stir in kale and cook until the kale is just wilted and the bacon is crispy. Add oregano and season with salt and pepper. Divide and top each buttered potato with half of the kale.
Fry the eggs. In the now-empty pan, add cooking oil, if needed, to prevent sticking. Add eggs and cook to preference. Top each stuffed potato with a cooked egg.
Serve warm topped with optional snipped chives and paprika.
