Low Fat Twice Baked Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake potatoes in preheated oven for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl; save skins. To the potato flesh add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 the green onions. Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon.
• Bake for another 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut baked potato in half lenghtwise and scoop out flesh--leaving a 1/4 in border.
• Mash potato with all ingredients except paprika until smooth and creamy.
• Spoon mixture into reserved potato skins.
• Sprinkle with paprika.
• Bake at 350 about 25 minutes until hot and golden brown on top.

Steps:

• Position racks in the top and middle of the oven, and heat oven to 400 degrees. Take the butter out of the refrigerator to soften. Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Poke holes all over them with a fork. In a large bowl, toss them with the oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place the potatoes directly on the top rack, and place a baking sheet or a piece of foil on the middle rack to catch drips. Bake for about 1 hour, until the skin is crisp and potatoes offer no resistance when a knife is inserted in their centers. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Slice the top third lengthwise off the potatoes. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/4-inch border of potato on the skin, and transfer the flesh to a medium bowl. Scrape the potato tops of all flesh, and add the flesh to the bowl. Place the bottoms on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (Snack on the tops - chef's treat - or discard.)
• Mash the potato flesh with a fork or potato masher. Add the butter, and stir until smooth (try not to overwork). Add the milk, sour cream and cheese and stir to combine. (If you want the filling softer, add more milk.) Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir in the chives, if using.
• Mound each potato skin with a quarter of the filling. Bake the potatoes until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Bake potatoes until tender, 50 to 60 minutes. Make a cut lengthwise along top of each about four inches long. Using a melon baller, remove flesh of each potato; transfer to medium bowl. Reserve skins. Pass potatoes through a ricer or food mill into a medium bowl.
• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic and shallots; saute, stirring frequently, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir half the garlic and shallots into riced potatoes. Set remaining half aside in skillet.
• In a food processor, puree ricotta until smooth; mix into riced potatoes along with milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Fill potato skins with cheese-and-potato mixture until brimming over edges. Transfer to baking sheet; place in oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.
• Return remaining garlic and shallots to medium heat. Add tomatoes, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cook, tossing until tomatoes are warm, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/2 tablespoon marjoram; cook 1 minute. Spoon 3 tablespoons tomato mixture over each potato; garnish with remaining 1/2 tablespoon marjoram.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake potatoes in preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Do not turn off oven.
• Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain, crumble, and set aside.
• Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop flesh into a large bowl; save skins. Mix in sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, and half the green onions into potato flesh. Blend with a hand mixer until creamy. Spoon potato mixture into potato skins. Top each with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, 4 sliced green onions, and bacon.
• Bake in oven until filling is hot and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
