4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 cups reduced-fat (2 percent) Greek yogurt, room temperature
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus 2-inch pieces for garnish (optional)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 Idaho russet baking potatoes
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus extra for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Wash the potatoes and place them directly on the oven baking rack. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until very tender when pierced with a skewer.
  • Meanwhile, combine the yogurt, sour cream, chives, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and place in a serving bowl. Garnish with extra chives. Chill.
  • When the potatoes are done, cut them down the middle and squeeze both ends. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve the hot baked potatoes with the cold chive dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use medium to large russet potatoes. These potatoes have a high starch content, which makes them ideal for baking and gives them a fluffy texture.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: To ensure that the potatoes are cooked through, bake them for at least 60 minutes, or until they are easily pierced with a fork.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling: This will make them easier to handle and prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Use a sharp knife to scoop out the potato flesh: This will help to create a clean and even cavity for the filling.
  • Be generous with the filling: Don't be afraid to load up the potatoes with your favorite fillings. The more filling, the better!
  • Top the potatoes with cheese: Cheese is a classic topping for twice-baked potatoes, and it adds a delicious cheesy flavor.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are heated through: Once the potatoes are filled, bake them again until they are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Greek yogurt and chive twice-baked potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
