"Healthy" Potato Skins?

nixerific

Hey all!

I've recently decided to revamp my diet (like most of you). I've been doing pretty well for the last two months, but I really started craving potato skins with sour cream.

Anybody have a recipe for decent low-calorie potato skins? I know some people say to use sweet potato instead of the other kind, but I didn't like it. Any ideas or should I just save potato skins for a cheat day?

This probably isn't the "traditional" potato skin you are looking for but, I have found it to be a good substitute. Good Luck! http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/parmesan_potato_skin_chips.html

I'm sure if you portion everything out, the potato, cheese, bacon and sour cream that it shouldn't be too bad.

I might try this!

Use olive oil instead of vegeable oil, use healthier cheese, less bacon or soy bacon bits, and try replacing the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt.

There's a recipe for skinny sweet potato skins on dashingdish.com and I'm sure you could just use a regular potato instead of a sweet potato (although I made it with a sweet potato and it was really good).
