Greek-Style Twice Baked Potatoes - 4 Points

This is another Weight Watchers online recipe to satisfy that Mediterranean craving!  I made a full batch of these and had them as a side dish for lunches and dinners throughout the week.  I actually thought they were better as leftovers!  You can always switch out the yogurt for light sour cream, and use a different cheese, such as cheddar.  Throwing in bacon bits would be yummy too!  (This will affect points values)


  • 20 oz potatoes, 4 Idaho variety, scrubbed
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup low-fat plain yogurt, at room temperature (I used Greek yogurt)
  • 1 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 Tbsp chives, freshly snipped
  1. Preheat oven to 425F (220C).  Bake the potatoes on the oven rack until a knife can easily pierce the center of each potato, about 45 minutes.  Remove potatoes and let cool slightly on a rack; reduce the oven heat to 375F (190C).
  2. Split the potatoes in half horizontally (use oven mitts to protect your hands).  Scoop out the flesh from each potato half, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick layer still in the shell.  Transfer the potato flesh to a medium bowl.
  3. Add the feta, yogurt, butter, and chives to the potato flesh and mash well.  Stuff the filling into the shells and arrange filling-side up on a baking sheet.  Bake until the filling is hot in the center and the edges are lightly browned, about 12 minutes.
Yields 2 potato halves per serving.
