Best Twice Baked Potatoes using healthy greek yougrt!
How about a fun rendition of a pretty ordinary side dish for that big holiday feast coming up y'all?!?
I picture our big holiday meal with a delicious baked ham, a potato side of sorts, Skinny Broccoli Salad, and carrot cake desserts.
What if I told ya you could make your holiday meal a little crazier with these Gluten-Free Greek Yogurt Twice Baked Potatoes.
How are they crazy you ask? Well... I'll tell ya.
These aren't your ordinary boat-shaped twice baked potatoes. Oh no. They are much cooler than that.
They stand up on their ends and act more like muffins than boats.
This means slightly smaller portions (I have a hard time fitting those huge potatoes down my throat, but these are the perfect sized portions), so your holiday eaters can choose if they want to fill up on these bettys (probs) or if they want to try other sides at the dinner table too.
Mind blown yet?
Well, what if I told ya that these are made with greek yogurt and a smaller amount of cheese to give it it's creamy texture and flavors and not sour cream and gobs of other crap stuff.
New design with a healthy twist. Your mind must be blown by now.
It's fun slicing off the ends of the potatoes and scooping out the insides, but make sure you don't scoop out too much or the bottoms will cave in. Guilty.
But even if they become 'bottomless', these bad boys still work out just like the others in their pack.
Just handle them a little more gingerly. No worries.

Twice baked potatoes are a fave in my house! I love how you cut them - makes them look so cute!! I need to try that!
I'm a huge fan of potato addict. This twice baked potato looks absolutely delicious! These are absolutely cute and fan way to serve potatoes.
Why have I never made twice baked potatoes with YOGURT! I absolutely love this idea! I am a freak for baked potatoes - because they are amazing! I love the addition of greek yogurt. Such a simple swap - brilliant!
I stuffed potatoes and these look absolutely delicious! I love that they are made with greek yogurt too for a lightened up version.
Those potato towers are adorable. I hadn't thought about making potatoes in this shape, they looked amazing on the plate with the our grilled chicken. We've stopped buying sour cream - we prefer Greek yogurt plus we can use the yogurt in more dishes.
The amount of deliciousness these baked potatoes are loaded goes through the roof! Just the way I like it and the perfect way to enjoy potatoes!
These twice-baked potatoes are the perfect elegant side dish for date night or dinner parties.
This recipe take the baked potato to a new level. Thanks for the make ahead tips for preparing these!
Ingenious! Fun presentation and so creamy with the yogurt. I'm wondering if I could turn these into finger food by using smaller potatoes. Hmm, I'll try it and see. Thank you!
These greek yogurt twice baked potatoes are mouthwatering! The idea of baked potatoes that are loaded with healthy creamy greek yogurt, bacon crumbles, spices, and cheese is really perfect for my taste buds!
These are adorable! I haven't made twice baked potatoes in years - and I love the smaller and lighter version you've created! Nice photos too!
Oh they are such a good side dish for fall and the lightened up version is still just as savory and creamy! 🙂
Love the way that the spuds are standing on their ends! I love yogurt with bakers, always!
It's a great combination isn't it?!?
I love a twice baked potato and using greek yogurt to make them is guilt free. I think I could eat two:) They looks delish. Photos are wonderful.
Thanks so much for the wonderful comments! The greek yogurt still gives them their hearty and creamy feeling but leaves out the guilt. Exactly! 🙂
These much cooler - muffin-like twice baked potatoes are mind blowingly brilliant! I've never done baked potatoes/twice baked ones like this before - thanks so much for the inspiration!
Glad to give out a little inspiration dear! 🙂
I have always stuffed mine horizontally, I love the idea of having them stand up like this! They look amazing!
Thanks Kim! I like to cut them in half and place them upright. Then you can decide how many smaller potatoes you want (and they're pretty!). I also think it's easier to eat this way. Thanks for stopping in! 🙂
These spuds look yummy and cute!!! Love this recipe and as a,ways, your GREAT blog!!! xo
