Ingredients
- 4 large potato(es), baking-variety, cooked, cooled and quartered lengthwise
- 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder, or chipotle chili powder
- 1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce
- 6 slice cooked Canadian-style bacon, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
- 2 medium tomato(es), diced
- 3 medium scallion(s), finely chopped
- 3/4 cup fat-free sour cream
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F. Scoop out flesh of potatoes, leaving about 1/8th of potato flesh in potato. (Reserve remaining potato flesh for another use such as mashed potatoes, if desired.)
-
In a small bowl, combine oil, chili powder and hot pepper sauce. Using a pastry brush, brush insides of potato wedges with oil mixture. Place potato wedges in a single layer on a large nonstick baking sheet; sprinkle with bacon and cheese.
-
Bake until cheese melts and potatoes are heated through, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with tomatoes and scallions; serve with sour cream on the side. Yields 2 potato skins and about 1 1/2 tablespoons of sour cream per serving.
-
Make these sensational spuds milder and sweeter by using fat-free mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar and pineapple tidbits instead of tomato.
