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!

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!
