Baked Potato Skins

4 medium potatoes
1/2 cup grated fat free cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons very lean, cooked bacon bits
1/4 cup minced green onion

Scrub potatoes and pierce each with a fork.

Bake in a preheated 400F oven until soft; about 1 hour.

Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out centers, leaving a 1/4 inch shell. Reserve removed potato for another use.

Cut potato halves lengthwise. Spray potato shells with butter flavored spray, then place on a large baking sheet.

Bake in a preheated 500F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until brown and crisp. Sprinkle evenly with cheese, bacon bits and green onion.

Return to 400F oven for 3 minutes longer to melt cheese.
