Potato Skin-nies

Surprisingly delicious for only 1 Weight Watchers Points Plus and 54 calories!

Gather

10 medium potatoes (about 130 grams each)
6 slices of cooked bacon, chopped
6 green onions, diced, green part only
.5 cup of reduced-fat cheddar
.5 cup of reduced-fat sour cream

Step by step

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Pierce each raw potato with a fork several times (because your potato will explode in your oven if you don't - yeah, totally happened to me) and place on a foil lined cookie sheet.
  3. Bake potatoes for 45-60 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Remove from oven and let cool.
  5. Cut in half lengthwise and use a melon-baller to scoop out the inside, getting as close to the skin as possible, leaving only a small amount of white inside. This is the key to crisp potato skins with less calories!
  6. Place back in the oven top down for 5 minutes, then flip and bake for 5 more minutes (this will make them more crisp).
  7. Remove from oven, fill each half with approximately 1 tsp of cheese and a sprinkling of bacon.Photobucket
  8. Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from oven, add a tsp of sour cream and a sprinkle of green onions.
  10. Enjoy!
    11. This recipe was calculated by weighing potatoes after scooping the insides out.
