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.

Gail,
This is great, because I went forever and a day before it occurred to me to add vegetables to my potato like this. I went with caramelized onions and spicy green beans and bacon. Up until then, I had always just added meat . . either bacon, sausage or something of the like. Vegetables add a wonderful dynamic to it however, and zucchini is a favorite of mine.
Peace and hot potatoes
