Ingredients

• 4 pieces large russet potatoes
• 2 seconds of spray olive oil spray
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Use a fork to poke several holes into each potato. This allows steam to escape during baking.

Step 4

Place the potatoes on a baking tray. Lightly spray each potato with the olive oil spray for about 2 seconds total, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes, ensuring each potato is evenly covered.

Step 6

Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake the potatoes for about 60-70 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the topping by mixing non-fat Greek yogurt, garlic powder, and half of the chopped chives in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and set aside.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice each potato down the center, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 10

Gently fluff up the insides of the potatoes using a fork.

Step 11

Top each potato with a generous dollop of the prepared yogurt mixture and sprinkle with the remaining chives.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your low fat classic jacket potatoes.
