Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 potato half)

Ingredients

• 4  large baking potatoes (about 12 ounces each)
• 1/2  cup  1% low-fat milk
• 1/3  cup  (3 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1/2  cup  (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°.

Pierce potatoes with a fork; bake at 400° for 1 hour or until tender. Cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp into a large bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Mash pulp with a potato masher. Add milk and cream cheese to mashed potato; stir with a whisk. Add feta cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper; stir well. Spoon potato mixture into shells. Place on a baking sheet; bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle each serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons green onions; top with bacon.
