Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 0.25 cup Chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Poke each potato several times with the tines of a fork to create small holes, which will allow steam to escape during baking.
Lightly spray the potatoes with olive oil spray and rub them with a little salt.
Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until tender. You can test for doneness by inserting a fork into the center of each potato—it should glide in easily.
While the potatoes are baking, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, let it cool on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess fat, then crumble into small pieces.
Chop the chives finely and set them aside for garnish.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Carefully make a lengthwise slice down the center of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open them up.
Flake the potato flesh with a fork, leaving the skin intact. Add a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt into each potato, followed by a sprinkle of reduced-fat cheddar cheese, crumbled turkey bacon, chopped chives, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to taste.
Return the topped potatoes to the oven on a baking sheet for 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious low-fat loaded baked potatoes!
