  • Author: Chef. Jeff
  • Total Time: 55min
  • Yield: 1 serving

Description

The ultimate weight-loss-friendly comfort food. High in fiber, rich in flavor, and perfectly portioned.


Ingredients

    • The Base: 1 medium Sweet Potato (approx. 150g)
    • The Cheese: 2 tbsp Extra Sharp White Cheddar (freshly grated)
    • The Creaminess: 1 tbsp Non-fat Greek Yogurt (or light butter)
    • The Seasoning: 1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika, pinch of Sea Salt, and Cracked Black Pepper
    • The Garnish: 1 tbsp chopped Green Onions or Chives

Instructions

    • Prep the Skin: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potato and pat dry. Poke 4–5 times with a fork. Rub with a tiny drop of oil and salt for maximum crispiness.
    • The Roast: Place directly on the center oven rack. Bake for 45–50 minutes until the center is soft when squeezed.
    • The Fluff: Slice down the middle. Use a fork to mash the orange flesh inside the skin. Mix in the Greek yogurt, paprika, and salt.
    • The Cheese Melt: Pack the fluffed potato with the sharp cheddar. Return to the oven for 3 minutes (or broil for 60 seconds) until bubbling.
    • Finish: Top with green onions and serve hot.

Notes

    • Weight Watchers Tip: Use “Extra Sharp” cheese. The stronger the flavor, the less you need to feel satisfied!
    • Storage: These are great for meal prep. Roast the potatoes ahead of time, then add cheese and melt when you are ready to eat.
