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. Ingredients:
4 medium potatoes |
vegetable oil cooking spray |
4 slices turkey bacon |
3/4 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese |
1/4 cup fat free sour cream |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives |
Directions:
1. Bake potatoes at 425 for 1 hour or until done.
2. Cut potatoes in half length wise.
3. Make sure they are cool enogh to handle and scoop out potato, but leave an 1/4 inch shell.
4. Place potato shells on a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.
5. Bake at 425 degrees for 8 minutes until crisp.
6. Cook bacon, chop and set aside.
7. Divide cheese into 8 equal parts and sprinkle into potato skins.
8. Sprinkle Bacon into shells with melted cheese (If cheese does not melt, you may have to heat an additional 5 minutes at 425 degrees.)
9. Place a dollop of sour cream on top of each potato boat and sprinkle with chives.
