Just in time for the big game, we’ve whipped an American favorite football food and put a Greek (and healthier) spin on it to make it all that much better! Skins on for high fiber, non fat Greek yogurt, low fat sour cream, spinach and feta, which is a lower fat cheese! We know… the Pats didn’t make it to the Superbowl this year but maybe this will help lift your spirits and make the Superbowl a little more enjoyable!
An American favorite football food with a Greek twist!
Serves: 4 | Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
- 6 - 8 Idaho potatoes
- 4 tbls. olive oil
- 16 oz. bag frozen spinach
- 1 large vidalia onion
- ½ cup low fat sour cream
- ¼ cup non fat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup grated cheese
- a couple dashes nutmeg
- dash salt & pepper
Steps:
-
Scrub the potatoes clean and prick them several times each. Brush whole potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place on a baking sheet.
-
Bake for about 45 minutes to an hour, until tender. (Not too tender. You want the potatoes in tact. Just soft enough to easily scoop out the flesh).
-
While potatoes are baking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan. Add chopped onion and cook until soft, not brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and let onions cool a bit.
-
Remove potatoes from oven and allow to cool enough to handle. Cut potatoes in half, length wise, and scoop out flesh, leaving just enough flesh in the skins to keep their structure when filled.
-
Place potato flesh, thawed/dried spinach, onions, grated cheese, yogurt, nutmeg, salt and pepper (to taste) in a large bowl and mix well. Add a little more sour cream if mixture is too dry.
-
Spoon spinach/potato mixture to fill each potato skin half. Top each with crumbled feta cheese. Place back in the oven until feta melts a bit, about 4 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
-
Serve warm or at room temperature.
