Healthy Baked Potato Skins image

Potato skins have always been one of my favorite tail-gating foods, but they are SO fattening. I developed a healthier way to make them....not as good as the real thing but darn close!

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large russet potatoes
4 tablespoons sour cream, fat free
4 tablespoons cheddar cheese, 2% or 4 tablespoons fat, free variety shredded
1/4 cup scallion, chopped
1/4 cup tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons red bell peppers, finely minced
1/4 cup turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 tablespoon chives, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
salt
pepper
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Wash potatoes and bake in 350 degree oven for about an hour. Do not prick the potatoes. Remove from oven and cool.
  • Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the soft insides with a spoon. Get as much out as possible without puncturing the skin. Spray both sides of the skin with non-fat cooking spray and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place back in a 350 degree oven for about 3-5 minutes, until crisp.
  • Mix sour cream, garlic and chives. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Fill each potato skin with tomatoes, scallions, bacon, bell pepper, and cheese. Place back in oven until cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve with cold sour cream & garlic/chive sauce.
  • Yummy!

These are a great appetizer or snack. I love that you can load them up with all sorts of different toppings. I've tried them with chili, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. They're always a hit!

Not bad, but not great. The skins were a bit tough and the cheese wasn't melted all the way through. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Easy to make and delicious! I used pre-shredded cheddar cheese and they still came out great. My family loved them.

These baked potato skins were phenomenal! I used russet potatoes and they turned out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The melted cheese and bacon bits were the perfect toppings. I'll definitely be making these again!
