Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Serves 6

You'll Need
  • 6 baking potatoes
  • 1 tsp cooking oil
  • 6 slices crispy cooked bacon
  • 1 cup cheese (blue, cheddar, goat), crumbled
  • ½ cup low fat sour cream/plain yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp chives, chopped
Preparation
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Scrub potatoes clean and, using a fork, poke a few holes in the skin.
  • Rub the skin with oil to avoid cracking.
  • Place potatoes on top of oven rack and bake for approximately 1 hr or until fork inserts easily. Remove and let sit for 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
  • Slice the top, lengthwise, off of each potato and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl (being careful not to tear the skin). Add crumbled bacon, sour cream/yogurt, and cheese to the potato and mash together.
  • Spoon potato mixture back into the potatoes and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Garnish potatoes with chives before serving.
