Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Large russet potatoes
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Low-fat sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water and scrub the skins to remove any dirt.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Lightly spray the potatoes with olive oil spray to coat the skin, then sprinkle evenly with salt and black pepper.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are baking, grate the low-fat cheddar cheese and set aside.
Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Cut a slit lengthwise along the top of each potato, then carefully squeeze the ends to open them up gently.
Fluff the inside of the potato with a fork, being cautious not to break the skin.
Sprinkle half of the low-fat cheddar cheese over the fluffed interior of each potato.
Dollop 1/4 cup of low-fat sour cream over each potato, followed by the remaining cheese.
Top with chopped chives for added flavor and color.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your low-fat baked potato with cheese and sour cream!
