Ww 4 Points - Baked Potato Skins

mariposa13's Note:

From Fabulous Fat-Free Cooking. To cut down baking time, you can microwave the scrubbed potatoes for 7 minutes, turning them 4 times for even cooking. Wet the potatoes and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until tender. After you've scooped out the potato flesh, save it for another use, such as mashed potatoes or potato pancakes.

Wow! When DH says "this is really good" you know you have a winner. He didn't even know it's a WW recipe. I used shredded cheese and put the chopped ham on top before putting them under the broiler. I was out of red peppers so used yellow instead. Very colorful recipe. Thanks for posting.

This is one of those few golden recipes where you eat it and forget you are on a diet! I made mine with turkey bacon, lowfat american cheese and lowfat sour cream. I also used diced onion instead of scallions. I will definitely be making this one again! Thank you!!!
