Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water, scrubbing to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Poke holes in each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with salt to promote crisp skin.
Step 5
Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and a fork easily pierces the potato.
Step 6
While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the fresh chives and set aside.
Step 7
Once the potatoes are finished baking, remove them from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 8
Cut a slit in the top of each potato and gently squeeze from both ends to open the potato slightly.
Step 9
Top each potato with 1/4 cup of low-fat Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream.
Step 10
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped chives on each potato.
Step 11
Season with a pinch of black pepper, if desired, and serve immediately.
