Are you sitting down? You should be when you read the nutrition numbers for restaurant-style potato skins with cheddar and bacon. Ready? Here goes:

And let me remind you, potato skins are considered an appetizer. A single baked potato has 94 calories and zero fat, so what the heck happens in the restaurant kitchen? I’ll tell you what happens: the chefs take a nutrient-rich vegetable and give it the fat equivalent of 9 chocolate frosted doughnuts. Well, I’m not that kind of chef. Dig into my recipe revamp and enjoy the loaded potato skin in all its glory.

Potato Skins With Two Cheeses, Prosciutto and Scallions

1/4 cup diced prosciutto or Parma ham (dry-cured Italian ham), about 2 slices

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Spray the outside of potatoes with cooking spray and place on a baking sheet. Cut a small slit in the top of each potato and bake 45 minutes, until soft. Leave oven at 425 degrees.

When cool enough to handle, halve potatoes lengthwise and scoop out flesh, leaving 1/4-inch of flesh with the skin (reserve scooped out flesh for mashed potatoes later in the week!).

Spray the inside of potatoes with cooking spray and season with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the Parmesan cheese on the inside of each potato skin. Return skins to baking sheet and bake 6 minutes, until cheese is golden brown.

Fill each skin with 2 tablespoons of the cheddar cheese and 1/2 tablespoon each diced prosciutto and scallions. Bake 3-5 minutes, until cheese melts.
