Ingredients
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Bake potatoes in preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Do not turn off oven.
Step 3
Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain, crumble, and set aside.
Step 4
Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop flesh into a large bowl; save skins. Mix in sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, and half the green onions into potato flesh. Blend with a hand mixer until creamy. Spoon potato mixture into potato skins. Top each with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, 4 sliced green onions, and bacon.
Step 5
Bake in oven until filling is hot and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.

We start by using low-fat sour cream and Greek yogurt in place of the usual heavy cream and butter, which still gives the potatoes that rich and creamy texture. We also load them up with plenty of fresh herbs, garlic, and a sprinkle of sharp cheddar cheese for a burst of flavor in every bite. Whether you're serving these as a side dish for a special dinner or enjoying them as a satisfying lunch, these Healthier Ultimate Twice-Baked Potatoes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
