Wahoo Baked Potatoes

Why are they called WAHOO ? Because that is what the chef said upon first tasting them. This recipe will make 4 servings as a side dish.

INGREDIENTS
2    large baking potatoes
2    tablespoons Greek or low fat yogurt
2    tablespoons sliced spring onions, green parts only
3    tablespoons Onion Blossom Horseradish Dip
1/4 teaspoon salt
4    tablespoons shredded Garlic Jack cheese, divided
      paprika for garnish

METHOD
Preheat the oven to 400 F degrees if not using a microwave. Poke the potatoes with a fork in several places to vent them and prevent them exploding. Roast them for 45 to 50 minutes in the oven or for 8 to 10 minutes in the microwave. Let them cool enough to handle and cut them in half length-wise.

Scoop the potato out of the skin. leaving about 1/4 inch of potato inside the entire skin, and place the scooped potato into a large bowl. Reserve the skins and mash the potato into a fairly smooth state.

Add the yogurt, wasabi or horseradish dip, salt and 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Mix well and spoon 1/4 of the mixture back into the potato skins. Reduce the heat in the oven to 375 F degrees and bake the filled potato skins for 15 minutes in the middle of the oven. (About 5 minutes on high in the microwave.)  Remove from the oven and sprinkle the tops evenly with the remaining cheese, dust with paprika and serve immediately.
