Thanksgiving is about a week ago and the meal planning is well underway. One of my family’s traditional foods served at the holidays are baked potatoes. The recipe name says it all – these are potatoes that are literally cooked twice. Unfortunately the traditional recipe is loaded with sour cream, butter, and cheese – lots of high calorie foods. I have made this family recipe a bit more healthy for you!
To start the potatoes are cooked like a baked potato.
After they have been cooked once they are split in half.
And hollowed out.
The best part is when the flesh (insides) are mixed with other delicious ingredients. To make this recipe a bit more healthy I substituted Greek yogurt for sour cream and used a light butter spread to replace the butter. Both ingredients offer the same creamy flavoring as the ingredients they replaced.
The new mixture is put back in to the original shell.
Toppings are added.
And they are cooked again!
Enjoy!
