INGREDIENT NOTES:

BAKING POTATOES:

  • We will use potatoes in this recipe because they are the main ingredient. These will get soft from the center when you bake them. Another idea for your use can be sweet potatoes.

LEAN SIRLOIN STEAK:

  • Steak is the main thing to use in your potato stuffing. Here, you will use lean sirloin steak so your potatoes don’t get heavy to eat. Grill chicken breast and use that for another lighter option in your dish.

TURKEY BACON:

  • Another core ingredient in your recipe is bacon. Here you will add turkey bacon, so it’s not heavy. The flavor of your potato stuffing will become smoky from adding it. Adding center-cut bacon will change your points if you use it as an alternative.

GARLIC:

  • Use garlic in your recipe so it gives a savory flavor. The potatoes and steak will taste rich if you use this in your dish. An alternative for this can be half a tsp of garlic powder.

REDUCED-FAT CHEDDAR CHEESE:

  • The stuffing of your potatoes will become cheesy if you use this cheese. Here, you will use reduced-fat cheese, so your recipe does not get heavy. It will melt very nicely in the potato and give you a good cheesy taste. Add light mozzarella if you need a different idea.

LIGHT BUTTER:

  • Butter is another core ingredient for this recipe. So, you will use light butter to keep this dish light as well. You will get a rich taste from adding it, and you can use olive oil as an alternative. But your points with olive oil can change as well.

NONFAT PLAIN GREEK YOGURT:

  • Your potato filling will become creamy when you use this yogurt in it. Use plain nonfat Greek yogurt to keep your recipe lighter. Light sour cream can be another idea for your use as well.

GREEN ONIONS:

  • Adding green onions to your recipe will give you a sharp taste. The color of the potatoes filling will improve from adding them. Chives can also be an alternative idea here.

SEASONINGS:

  • Onion, powder, paprika, pepper, and salt will boost the taste of your meal. Use steak seasoning, cayenne, or some garlic powder as substitutes for them.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Warm your oven to 200°C.
  2. Wash the potatoes and dry them so you can poke them a few times to make holes with a fork.
  3. Use some cooking spray over them and place them on the sheet to bake for 50 minutes.
  4. Next, cool them down for ten minutes.
  5. Then take your skillet and include bacon in it to cook for seven minutes on medium heat.
  6. Place the cooked bacon on any side and include light butter in the skillet.
  7. Include steak with seasonings to cook for 5 minutes.
  8. Then cook in garlic for 30 seconds as well.
  9. Now come to your potatoes and slice them vertically.
  10. Take the soft center out of them, and you should have firm skin.
  11. Add the potato center to a big mixing bowl & add green onions, half cheese, and nonfat Greek yogurt.
  12. Also, add turkey bacon and steak into the bowl to mash all of them carefully with a fork.
  13. Put potatoes on the sheet and add this filling to them.
  14. Add the cheese on top of the them so you bake them again for twelve minutes.
