Ingredients

• 4 pieces Russet potatoes (medium-sized)
• 1 bottle Olive oil spray
• 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 slices Cooked turkey bacon
• 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then prick each potato with a fork a few times to allow steam to escape.

Step 3

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 4

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool until they are safe to handle, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato attached to the skin. Reserve the potato flesh for another use, like mashed potatoes.

Step 6

Spray the inside and outside of each potato skin lightly with olive oil spray. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over the skins.

Step 7

Place the potato skins back on the baking sheet, cut side up, and bake for another 8-10 minutes until the edges become crispy.

Step 8

While the skins are baking, chop the cooked turkey bacon into small pieces.

Step 9

Once the skins are crispy, remove them from the oven and sprinkle each with a small amount of shredded low-fat cheddar cheese and the chopped turkey bacon.

Step 10

Return the potato skins to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the potato skins from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top each with a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat potato skins!
