Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
  • 1 cup grated low-fat cheddar cheese 240g
  • ½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt 120 ml
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley 15g
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 15 ml
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
  2. Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.
  3. Using a brush, lightly coat each potato with olive oil.
  4. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 50 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
  5. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  6. While the potatoes are cooling, in a bowl, combine the grated low-fat cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic, and half of the chopped green onions. Mix until well combined.
  7. Slice off the top part of each potato and carefully scoop out the insides, ensuring you leave a thin layer so they maintain their shape.
  8. Take the scooped-out potato, add it to the cheese mixture, and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  9. Stuff the potato skins with the cheese-potato mixture. Top with remaining cheese.
  10. Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley and the remaining green onions.

Notes

For a crispier potato skin, you can brush the outside with a little more olive oil before the second bake.
Make sure to not overstuff the potatoes; this will ensure they hold their shape.
You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
