Recipe Tried.....Results?

OK so I tried a new recipe last night. The things on the right (forgive the bad photo) are twice baked potatoes (made healthy). To the left is left-over chicken spaghetti. I almost left the potatoes in the oven too long thus the dark spots on the cheese. They were so yummy, it did not matter.
Here's the magic: Mix together, 2 T of each of sour cream (low Fat or fat free), Greek yogurt, soft margarine or butter and Parmesan cheese, 1 pkg of dry ranch dressing mix and one package of real bacon bits. Place in fridge while you prep potatoes. Microwave potatoes on high until soft but not mushy (they need some body to them). I like to have water in the bowl with a lid. I have a Tupperware cooker for the microwave that lets me steam the potatoes not boil them. Spray a baking sheet with non stick butter flavored spray. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Score each half to make squares in them but do not cut through the skin. Sprinkle with salt and pepper now (I forgot to do this part and regretted it). Preheat oven to Broil. Scoop a big scoop on each potato and cover with sharp cheddar cheese. Broil until cheese is bubbly but not burned...LOL Serve. Talk about yummy!!!!!!!! My wonderful man loved it last night and again today warmed over. ENJOY!
