Ww Loaded Baked Potatoes

TeresaS's Note:

This is out of one of my old weight watchers cookbooks back in 2000. Called "Just like Home". It was one of my favorite dished to make. Only has 5 points. Save the leftovers to make Ww Baked-Potato Soup. I'll post that recipe also.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 35 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 4 large baking potatoes (about 3 pounds)
• 1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/3 cup about 3 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened (Neufchatel)
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano or 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
• 2 slices hickory smoked bacon, slices cooked and crumbled

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Bake potatoes for 1 hour or until tender. (I have zapped them in the microwave, but the oven is best).
3. Let cool slightly.
4. Cut each potato in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp into a large bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell.
5. Mash pulp with a potato masher.
6. Add milk and next 5 ingredients; stir well.
7. Spoon potato mixture into shells.
8. Place on a baking sheet; bake for 15 minutes or until thorougly heated.
9. Sprinkle each potato half with 1 1/2 teaspoons green onions; top evenly with crumbled bacon.

Made half a recipe for just the 2 of us, & so that I'd have what I needed for your Baked Potato Soup the next day, & must say that the first time around they were very, very satisfying! Great combo of cheeses & well-worth making again! Thanks for posting the recipe!

Very easy, very good. Perfect use for leftover baked potatoes. I used skim milk, because that's what we had. Thanks for sharing!

This was great. Loved the flavor of the feta cheese. I cheated and cooked my potatoes in the crock pot. Put it turned out great. Thanks for posting.
