Baked Cheesy Potato Skins (Cooking Light Style) image

I am in my "I've got to lose ten pounds phase again." Hence the recent spate of light and low fat recipes from me. Yes, I've got a split personality, I post a lot of great tasting Southwestern Dishes that are not low fat also. These are low fat clones of the famous potato skin appetizers served at many restaurants. Enjoy at home without the guilt.
