Loaded Twice Baked Potato Surprise

I'm normally the baker in the family, and I'm the one that strictly follows the recipe.  Well, I've been experimenting and I've come up with a great healthier version of twice baked potatoes.

Ingredients
4 medium sized potatoes, peeled and diced
5 slices of bacon, fried and chopped
1/2 c. skim milk
3 T of fresh chives, finely chopped
6 oz of plain Greek yogurt
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 t. salt
pepper to taste
Balsamic Glaze

Boil potatoes and smash with a fork.  Combine potatoes, milk, yogart, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and stir.  Add bacon, cheese, and chives.  Spread into shallow baking dish and bake for 20 mins at 350 degrees or until warm all the way through.  Top with balasamic glaze, if desired.

Surprise!  No butter or sour cream.  If you use low fat or fat free cheese, then the little bit of bacon is the only fatty item.    The Balsamic Glaze really sets this off, so try some for the first time if you'v never had it.
