Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 large Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
- 2 slices center-cut bacon or turkey bacon
- 2 Tbsp. non-fat sour cream
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Preparation:
- Wash and prick potatoes with a fork several times. Place on a paper towel and heat in the microwave on full power 8 to 10 minutes or until soft. Remove from the microwave, and allow to cool several minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook until crisp, turning once. Transfer bacon to paper towels and blot to absorb excess fat. Set aside.
- When potatoes are cool enough to touch, cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the potato flesh and place in a bowl, leaving about 1/8 of an inch of potato flesh all the way around the potato skin.
- Add the sour cream and black pepper to the potato flesh. Mash until smooth.
- Mound several spoonfuls of the potato mixture back into each potato shell. Top with shredded cheese.
- Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon and serve.
