By jawilber64
2 Points
6 Servings
Ingredients
3 medium potatoes, baked, sliced in half lengthwise and cooled
1 spray of cooking spray
20 oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
4 oz light cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 slices cooked crisp turkey bacon, crumbled
Instructions
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.
Notes:
Serving = 1 potato half
To easily dry spinach, place thawed spinach in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out liquid over the sink, as though you were wringing out a wet towel.
