Healthy Sweet Potato Skins

Potatoes are my guilty pleasure. Give them to me mashed, fried, baked, or any other way and I will love you forever. However, potatoes are packed with starches and carbohydrates that is not nice to the waistline. Here is a healthier alternative to the awesome bar food that uses sweet potatoes, turkey bacon and Greek yogurt. This recipe is a great way to snack and still stick to your diet. And, BONUS: they still taste amazing!
