Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0 as needed Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry them with a paper towel.

Step 3

Pierce each potato several times with a fork, then lightly spray them with olive oil.

Step 4

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly until they are easy to handle.

Step 7

Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato around the edges to form a sturdy shell.

Step 8

In a large bowl, combine the scooped-out potato, non-fat Greek yogurt, 0.75 cups of the cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 9

Spoon the cheesy potato mixture back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining 0.25 cup of low-fat cheddar cheese over the stuffed potatoes.

Step 11

Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and return them to the oven.

Step 12

Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat cheesy stuffed potatoes!
