How to Make Healthy Potato Skins
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash and pierce 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs total) several times with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- While sweet potatoes bake, prepare the filling: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add 5 oz (140g) fresh spinach and 2 scallions, thinly sliced. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate skillet, cook 4 slices turkey bacon until crisp. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then chop into small pieces.
- Once sweet potatoes are cooked, let cool for 5 minutes. Carefully slice each in half lengthwise.
- Scoop out the sweet potato flesh into a bowl, leaving about ⅛ inch border. Add 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened, 2 tablespoons buttermilk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- Lightly brush the outside of each sweet potato half with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.
- Fill each sweet potato skin with the spinach mixture. Top with the chopped turkey bacon and a sprinkle of 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese.
- Return stuffed sweet potato skins to the baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
