Ingredients
-
4 large russet potatoes, baked
1/2 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, finely shredded
1/2 cup low-fat swiss cheese, finely shredded
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1/4 teaspoon paprika
4 slices reduced-sodium bacon or 4 slices turkey bacon, fried crisp and crumbled
1/2 cup green onion, sliced (scallions)

Preparation

Preheat your broiler unit.
Cut the baked potatoes length-wise into quarters (4 pcs.); scoop out 3/4 of the pulp and use the pulp for some other recipe.
Place the quartered potatoes onto your broiler pan or onto a baking sheet (cookie sheet).
Broil them 4 inches from the heat source for 8 minute until golden.
Remove from the broiler and sprinkle the potatoes with the cheeses, cayenne (optional), paprika and bacon.
Top with the green onions; return to the broiler for 3 min or until the cheese is bubbly.
Serve with the sour cream on the side.
