Instructions

- Remove the potatoes from the oven and cut them in half.
- Scrape the pulp into a bowl, reserving the shells.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider substituting the nonfat yogurt with a low-fat sour cream. If you're short on time, you can microwave the potatoes instead of baking them, but be sure to poke holes to allow steam to escape. Adding shredded rotisserie chicken can enhance flavor without adding too much fat, making this dish even more appealing.
Serving Suggestions
These stuffed baked potatoes are delicious on their own but pair beautifully with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Consider serving them alongside Jerrie'S Brunswick Stew for a hearty, comforting dinner. A sprinkle of additional chives or a dollop of salsa can also elevate the flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the stuffed potatoes in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave them for quicker reheating, but the oven will keep the skins crispier.
