Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 0.75 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks (finely chopped) Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Thoroughly wash the potatoes and pierce each one several times with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each one in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the potato flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh attached to the skin to maintain the potato shell’s structure.
Place the scooped-out potato flesh in a mixing bowl. Add the non-fat Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mash the mixture with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
Fold in the reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions, leaving a small amount of each aside for topping, if desired.
Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly.
Place the stuffed potato halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Sprinkle the reserved cheese and green onions on top, and garnish with paprika if using.
Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and the filling is heated through.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat twice-baked potatoes!
