Ingredients
4 large Russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Prick the clean potatoes with a fork and bake directly on the center rack for 60 minutes or until tender.
Let the potatoes cool slightly, then slice them lengthwise.
Carefully scoop out the centers into a bowl, leaving a thin layer of potato attached to the skin to form a sturdy shell.
In the bowl, mash the potato flesh with Greek yogurt, half of the shredded cheese, sliced green onions, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spoon the mixture evenly back into the potato shells.
Top the filled potatoes with the remaining cheddar cheese.
Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly or the tops are slightly golden.
Notes
You can prepare the stuffed potatoes a day in advance and store them, covered, in the refrigerator before the second bake. To keep them vegetarian and pork-free, use smoked paprika to achieve that savory, deep flavor typically associated with bacon. If you want extra crispiness, brush the exterior skins lightly with olive oil before the first bake.
