Healthy Twice-Baked Potato recipe from Dr. Gourmet

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Poke a few holes in the potato using the tines of a fork. Place the potato in the oven and bake for 50 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.

Slice the potato in half lengthwise.

Scoop out the flesh of the potato leaving about 1/4 inch of skin and flesh.

Place the flesh in a bowl and mash together with the buttermilk, salt, pepper and green onion.

Stuff the potato skins with the mashed potatoes and top with the grated cheese. Place the potatoes in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted.
