Ingredients

• 3 small uncooked potato(es), baked, sliced in half and cooled
• 1 spray(s) cooking spray
• 20 oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 4 oz low fat cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/4 tsp table salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 3 slice(s) cooked crisp turkey bacon, crumbled

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Scoop out flesh of potatoes, leaving about 1/4 of potato flesh in potato. (Reserve remaining potato flesh for another use such as mashed potatoes.)

Place potato halves on a baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. While potato skins bake, combine spinach, cream cheese, salt and pepper in a medium bowl until well-blended.

Remove skins from oven and spoon 3 tablespoons of spinach mixture into each potato half; bake until warmed through, about 5 minutes more.

Remove skins from oven and top each half with about 1 tablespoon of crumbled bacon. Yields 1 potato half per serving.
