Chipotle Potato Skins


A great weekend fun snack with so much less fat than regular potato skins.

You will need:

4 large potatos, baking-variety, cooked 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 (or the Morning star farms veggie bacon strips work just as well)
3/4 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese (the part skim chedder does melt and taste slightly better)
2 medium tomatoes, diced
3 medium scallions, finely chopped
3/4 cup fat-free sour cream


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.)
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.
