Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium-sized russet potatoes
- 0.5 cups reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices center-cut bacon
- 0.5 cups nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- as needed olive oil spray
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Scrub the potatoes clean and pierce each one several times with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife.
While the potatoes bake, cook the center-cut bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Let them cool slightly, then crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each potato in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out most of the flesh into a bowl, leaving about 1/4-inch of potato on the skin to keep them sturdy. Reserve the scooped potato flesh for another use, such as mashed potatoes.
Spray the potato skins lightly with olive oil spray on both sides and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place the skins cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Flip them over and bake for another 5 minutes, until the edges crisp up.
Divide the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly among the potato skins and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon pieces. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the potato skins from the oven and top with a dollop of nonfat plain Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your WW 4 Points Baked Potato Skins as a delicious, guilt-free snack or appetizer!
