Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0 olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 3
Pierce each potato with a fork several times to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Spray a light coating of olive oil on each potato and sprinkle with a little salt.
Step 5
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the potatoes are cooked through and tender.
Step 6
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them sit until cool enough to handle.
Step 7
Slice each potato lengthwise, taking care not to cut all the way through. Gently scoop out the potato flesh, leaving about a quarter-inch thick shell.
Step 8
In a medium bowl, combine the scooped-out potato flesh with low-fat cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mash together until smooth.
Step 9
Divide the mashed potato mixture evenly among the potato shells, pressing it down and mounding slightly on top.
Step 10
Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and the cheese is melted.
Step 11
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 12
Garnish with extra green onions if desired and serve warm.
