I was watching Dr. Oz, and I saw this mouth watering recipe of potato skins, I thought I should share!
Ingredients4 medium russet potatoes
1 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese
8 tsp turkey bacon pieces
1 tbsp fresh chives
1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
Canola oil non-stick cooking spray
Salt
DirectionsPreheat oven to 400°F. Bake the potatoes for 1 hour or until tender.
When potatoes have cooled enough so you can handle them, make two lengthwise cuts through each potato, resulting in 3 1/2-3/4 inch slices.
Discard the middle slices or save them for a separate dish of mashed potatoes.
This will leave you with two potato skins per potato.
With a spoon, scoop some of the potato out of each skin, being sure to leave about 1/4 inch of potato inside the skin.
Pop oven temperature up to 450°F.
Spray the entire surface of each potato skin with a light coating of canola oil spray.
Place the skins on a baking sheet, open side up, salt each one and take for 12-15 minutes or until the edges begin to brown.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of cheese on each potato skin.
Sprinkle 1 tsp of bacon pieces on top of the cheese on each potato skin.
Bake the skins for another 2-4 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Remove the skins from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate.
Combine the chives with the sour cream and serve in a small sauce cup in the center of the plate,
with the skins arranged around the sour cream, like spokes on a wheel.
