Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 2 seconds of spray olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Use a fork to poke several holes into each potato. This allows steam to escape during baking.
Place the potatoes on a baking tray. Lightly spray each potato with the olive oil spray for about 2 seconds total, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes, ensuring each potato is evenly covered.
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake the potatoes for about 60-70 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the topping by mixing non-fat Greek yogurt, garlic powder, and half of the chopped chives in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Slice each potato down the center, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Gently fluff up the insides of the potatoes using a fork.
Top each potato with a generous dollop of the prepared yogurt mixture and sprinkle with the remaining chives.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low fat classic jacket potatoes.
