Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup green onions
- 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water and scrub them to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a fork, poke several holes around each potato to allow steam to escape during baking.
Rub the exterior of each potato with a small amount of the olive oil, about 1/4 teaspoon per potato. This helps to crisp the skin during baking.
Sprinkle the potatoes evenly with salt and pepper.
Place the potatoes directly on the middle rack of the preheated oven, with a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any drippings.
Bake the potatoes for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender. You can check doneness by inserting a fork into the center; it should glide in easily.
While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the green onions and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix the non-fat Greek yogurt with the garlic powder until well combined.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Split each potato open lengthwise and gently fluff the insides with a fork.
Top each potato with a tablespoon of the Greek yogurt mixture and sprinkle with green onions.
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your healthy and delicious low fat baked potatoes!
