Light Twice Baked Potatoes Recipes

LIGHT TWICE-BAKED POTATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees and rub the potatoes generously with olive oil. Sprinkle the exterior of each potato generously with kosher salt then place on a baking sheet. Poke each of the potatoes with a fork or paring knife and bake 50-60 minutes or until fork-tender. Remove potatoes from oven and set them aside until cool enough to handle.
• Once potatoes are cool enough to touch, slice each one in half horizontally. Beginning with the tops, remove the flesh from the skin and add the flesh to a medium-sized mixing bowl and discard the skins. For the bottoms of the potato, scoop out the very center portion of the flesh but make certain to leave at least a ¼" edge in all directions to support the filling. Add the scooped-out flesh to the bowl.
• Mash the potatoes in the bowl with a fork until no large chunks remain then add the yogurt, olive oil, dried basil and cheese and mix until smooth. (You can add a little more olive oil or yogurt if you find the filling to be a little too dry for your taste. Potatoes vary greatly in size, so you'll have to adjust to your liking.)
• Fold in the chopped tomato and season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide the filling between each of the potato boats, sprinkle with a little bit of extra cheese and return potatoes to oven. Bake an additional 15 minutes or just until the cheese and filling are nice and hot.
