Creamy spinach and salty bacon makes these potatoes a hit. Make a double batch for your next party.

Ingredients

3 Medium potato(es), baked, sliced in half and cooled

1 Sprays cooking spray

20 oz Chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

4 oz Light cream cheese, at room temperature

1/4 tsp Table salt

1/4 tsp Black pepper

3 slices Cooked crisp turkey bacon, crumbled

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Scoop out flesh of potatoes, leaving about 1/4 of potato flesh in potato. (Reserve remaining potato flesh for another use such as mashed potatoes.)

Place potato halves on a baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. While potato skins bake, combine spinach, cream cheese, salt and pepper in a medium bowl until well-blended.

Remove skins from oven and spoon 3 tablespoons of spinach mixture into each potato half; bake until warmed through, about 5 minutes more.

Remove skins from oven and top each half with about 1 tablespoon of crumbled bacon. Yields 1 potato half per serving.

Notes

Cook's Notes

To easily dry spinach, place thawed spinach in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out liquid over the sink, as though you were wringing out a wet towel.
