Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 spray bottle Olive oil spray
- 0.5 cups Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove all dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.
Step 3
Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Lightly spray each potato with olive oil spray to help crisp the skin and season with salt, rubbing the oil and salt into the skin.
Step 5
Place the potatoes directly on the middle rack of the oven with a baking tray on the lower rack to catch any drippings, and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are 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 6-8 minutes. Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
Step 7
Chop the cooked turkey bacon into small bits.
Step 8
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Step 9
Carefully make a lengthwise slit on the top of each potato. Use a fork to gently fluff the insides.
Step 10
Top each cut potato with 2 tablespoons of low-fat Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of turkey bacon bits, a teaspoon of chopped chives, and a pinch of black pepper.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your tasty and healthier version of baked potatoes!
