Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons chives
- 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 large avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water.
Step 3
Dry the potatoes with a clean towel. Poke each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle them with black pepper and sea salt.
Step 5
Place the potatoes directly on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the skins are crisp and the insides are tender. To check, insert a fork or a skewer into the center of a potato; it should slide in easily.
Step 6
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the toppings. Slice the avocado in half, remove the stone, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with lemon juice, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of salt to taste.
Step 7
Finely chop the chives and set aside.
Step 8
When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Step 9
Slice each potato open lengthwise and gently fluff the inside with a fork.
Step 10
Top each potato with a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt, a spoonful of mashed avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped chives.
Step 11
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
