ZZ “ZUCCHINI” TOPPED POTATOES
Ingredients:
4 large potatoes, baked
Sea Salt
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup milk
2 green onions, snipped
1/4 cup butter
1 cup cheddar cheese, finely shredded
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 slices bacon, fried crisp and crumbled
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Wash potatoes, pat dry. Pierce each one on top. Spray with nonstick oil and sprinkle sea salt on skins. Bake for one hour. When done, let cool for ten minutes. Meanwhile, cook bacon. Drain on paper towels and crumble. Sauté onions and zucchini in olive oil. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise. Remove the flesh into a bowl leaving enough skin to form a shell. Place skins in a shallow baking dish. To the flesh, add yogurt, milk, green onions, butter, and 1/3 cup cheddar cheese. Blend until creamy. Spoon the filling into the potato skins. Top with remaining cheese, sautéed zucchini, onions, and crumbled bacon. Bake 15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Very nice!

I eat fresh zucchini fried in butter with onions and garlic for weeks in the summer! I need to try your new menu and recipe. So, this was perfect to share with me (and others)! My son’s garden usually bears tons of squash and zucchini. I cannot get him to pick it before they get too big.
