Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 0.75 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks (finely chopped) Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Thoroughly wash the potatoes and pierce each one several times with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife.
Step 3
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each one in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the potato flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh attached to the skin to maintain the potato shell’s structure.
Step 4
Place the scooped-out potato flesh in a mixing bowl. Add the non-fat Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mash the mixture with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
Step 5
Fold in the reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions, leaving a small amount of each aside for topping, if desired.
Step 6
Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly.
Step 7
Place the stuffed potato halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Sprinkle the reserved cheese and green onions on top, and garnish with paprika if using.
Step 8
Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and the filling is heated through.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat twice-baked potatoes!
