Ingredients

• 4 pieces medium russet potatoes
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup green onions
• 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water and scrub them to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 3

Using a fork, poke several holes around each potato to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 4

Rub the exterior of each potato with a small amount of the olive oil, about 1/4 teaspoon per potato. This helps to crisp the skin during baking.

Step 5

Sprinkle the potatoes evenly with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Place the potatoes directly on the middle rack of the preheated oven, with a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any drippings.

Step 7

Bake the potatoes for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender. You can check doneness by inserting a fork into the center; it should glide in easily.

Step 8

While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the green onions and set them aside.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the non-fat Greek yogurt with the garlic powder until well combined.

Step 10

Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Step 11

Split each potato open lengthwise and gently fluff the insides with a fork.

Step 12

Top each potato with a tablespoon of the Greek yogurt mixture and sprinkle with green onions.

Step 13

Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your healthy and delicious low fat baked potatoes!
