Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 spray bottle Olive oil spray
- 0.5 cups Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove all dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.
Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Lightly spray each potato with olive oil spray to help crisp the skin and season with salt, rubbing the oil and salt into the skin.
Place the potatoes directly on the middle rack of the oven with a baking tray on the lower rack to catch any drippings, and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are baking, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
Chop the cooked turkey bacon into small bits.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Carefully make a lengthwise slit on the top of each potato. Use a fork to gently fluff the insides.
Top each cut potato with 2 tablespoons of low-fat Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of turkey bacon bits, a teaspoon of chopped chives, and a pinch of black pepper.
Serve immediately and enjoy your tasty and healthier version of baked potatoes!
