Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 4 slices turkey bacon
- 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 pieces green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 container olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Use a fork to pierce each potato several times around the skin to allow steam to escape while baking.
Step 4
Lightly spray the potatoes with olive oil spray and sprinkle a pinch of salt over them.
Step 5
Place the potatoes directly onto the middle oven rack and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 6
While the potatoes are baking, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the cooked bacon, let it cool slightly, and then crumble it into small pieces.
Step 8
Slice the green onions thinly and set aside for garnishing.
Step 9
Once the potatoes are done, carefully remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 10
Slice each potato open lengthwise and gently fluff the inside with a fork.
Step 11
Top each potato with a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of crumbled turkey bacon, and sliced green onions.
Step 12
Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste before serving.
