We love the potato for its versatility, but it’s the bacon, cheese, and onions that really turn heads here. Using yoghurt instead of sour cream cuts the calories and fat, compared to the traditional preparation.
Ingredient List
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 8 slices bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup Mountain High® original or lowfat plain yoghurt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
- 8 green onions, sliced
Preparation
- Wash potatoes and prick all over with a fork. Bake potatoes at 350°F for one hour or until tender with pierced with a fork. Let cool 10 minutes.
- Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the inside into a large bowl, leaving 1/4-inch thick shells. (Be careful not to scrape too close to the skins or they will tear.) Add yoghurt, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese, and half the green onions to the potato in bowl. Mix with a hand mixer until creamy.
- Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with the remaining cheese, green onions, and bacon crumbles. Place potatoes on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake uncovered about 15 minutes or until hot and cheese melts. Serve warm with additional yoghurt, if desired.
