6 medium red potatoes, baked (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Vegetable oil spray
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup nonfat or low-fat cottage cheese, undrained (8 oz.)

1-1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon dried chives

of each potato skin and top with a slice of olive.
