Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Small russet potatoes
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup Fat-free Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Low-fat cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Turkey bacon slices
- 0.25 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- as needed Olive oil spray
- 1 Scallions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Pierce each potato with a fork several times and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the potatoes in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Remove from the oven and let them cool until they can be handled safely.
While the potatoes are baking, cook the turkey bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside to cool, then crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In a separate skillet, lightly spray with olive oil and sauté the spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. Once cooled, chop the spinach finely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and finely chopped spinach. Mix well to create a creamy filling.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each potato in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the centers, leaving a thin layer of potato flesh along the skins to maintain structure. Reserve the scooped potato for another use (like mashed potatoes).
Lightly spray the potato skins with olive oil and place them back on the baking sheet cut-side up. Bake for an additional 5 minutes to crisp up the edges.
Remove the potato skins from the oven and spoon the creamy spinach mixture evenly into each skin. Sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled turkey bacon.
Return the potato skins to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with sliced scallions, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your WW 2 Points Potato Skins with Creamy Spinach and Turkey Bacon!
