  • “They are good to be low-cal and low-fat.But they miss something.My BF said bacon but it would not be low-fat.I used fresh chives. But next time I’ll add more.I used fatfree yogurt.Thanks Mille 🙂 Made for Holiday tag”

  • “Mmmm-mmm good… DH loved this healthy version. Thanks Mille !”

  • “A very good substitute for my usual butter and sour cream-laden spuds now that I must watch the sodium. I only made one potato for myself and added Mrs. Dash and chives. I skipped the mozzarella since it would have been such a small amount for 1 spud. I’ll make this again so I can try some different seasonings.”

  • “Rich-tasting and seemingly decadent…but it’s not.I found lowfat mozzarella but not nonfat.Other than that, these twiced-baked potatoes were easy to put together.If you don’t tell them, no one will know how good these are for them.”
