Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 slices turkey bacon
- 1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 bunch chives
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove all dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Rub the potatoes lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes or until tender and easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are baking, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel to drain off any excess fat.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly. Cut a slit down the middle of each potato and gently squeeze from both ends to open them up.
Fluff the inside of the potatoes with a fork and season with the remaining salt and pepper.
Top each potato with 1/4 cup of non-fat Greek yogurt, crumbled turkey bacon, 1/4 cup of reduced-fat cheddar cheese, and finely chopped chives to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
