Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F/ 175 C
  • Rub your potatoes with touch oil or broth to get the salt to stick. Sprinkle a dash of salt on each potato.
  • Bake directly on the oven rack for 45 minutes.
  • Once done, let cool a bit until you can touch them and carefully cut the potatoes in half.
  • Scoop out the insides leaving a small edge of potato next to the skin. You should get about 1 ¼ cups of potato.
  • After you are done scraping out the insides, put the skins cut side down on a parchment lined cookie sheet and stick in the oven while you prep the rest. This keeps them warm and gives them an added layer of crispiness.
  • In a bowl, mix the potato with the yogurt and hot sauce until well combined.
  • Add the beans and corn and mix well.
  • Take the skins out of the oven and stuff them with the mixture.
  • Bake again for about 10-15 minutes, while you prep the rest of the toppings.
  • When done, top with whatever you desire and eat while warm!

Notes

  • Nutrition info is for the base potato and mixed stuffing only. Optional toppings are not included.
  • Make these your own, add less or more of any of the ingredients to suit your taste!
  • I did not add any extra salt to this recipe due to the flavorful hot sauce used, you can if you feel it’s needed.
  • If your potatoes have wild ends you can cut them off a bit to clean them up, but do not cut off too much skin.
