Ingredients
- 6 medium sized Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 ounces bacon, cooked until crisp
-
8 ounces Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar, shredded (about 2 cups)
-
½ cup Cabot Plain Greek Yogurt (Whole Milk 10%)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 – 3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped and divided
Directions
- WASH the outer skins of the potatoes. Then using a fork, poke holes 3-4 times into each potato. Microwave for 12 minutes.
- PREHEAT oven on broil.
- CHOP cooked bacon roughly.
- CUT the microwaved potatoes in half length-wise and lay them face up on an aluminum lined baking sheet. Use a teaspoon to remove some of the inside of each halved potato. (Save the scooped potato for another meal or eat them topped with cheese, salt and pepper!)
- TOP the potato skins with shredded cheese and the chopped cooked bacon. Broil 5-7 minutes until the cheese has melted and turns a golden brown.
- STIR together Greek yogurt, onion powder plus ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper or to taste. Stir in 1 tablespoon minced chives.
- GARNISH the loaded skins with the remaining chives. Serve them with the chive yogurt.
