I have such a split personality diet. One day I’m blogging about Doritos brownies — not exactly exemplary of healthy eating 
— and next thing you know, I’ve got a nutritious appetizer to share today. Basically, there are two of me — indulgent “devil” Little Bitty (that’s the one who made those cheesy brownies), and healthy “angel” Little Bitty. Lucky for you they both enjoy deliciousness. 
Let’s talk potato skins. I bet you’re instantly thinking lovely thoughts of melty cheese, crisp bacon, and rich sour cream. Oh, and the little green onions on top! Yeah, those are “devil” Little Bitty’s potato skins.
But what if “angel” Little Bitty wants a potato skin? She’s not going to settle for eating just a naked potato skin. What’s the point? No, “angel” Little Bitty will round up a bunch of healthy yet flavorful ingredients, throw ‘em together, and make chipotle BLT sweet potato skins.
I brushed spicy chipotle mustard on the skins of cooked sweet potatoes, then filled the skins with low fat cheese, smoky turkey bacon, and sweet sun-dried tomatoes. After a quick trip in the oven, they’re sprinkled with shredded lettuce and dolloped with a cool yet spicy chipotle mustard yogurt sauce. All said, these are spicy and sweet at the same time.
I actually entered these in a contest! Saucy Mama is holding a “Skinny Mama” recipe contest using their line of mustards, and I jumped at the opportunity to take part. Mainly because I’m still waiting for the day I’ll finally win a recipe contest… but also because I actually tried these products last year and loved them… and I’m not even much of a mustard person! (shhh)
Anyway, the recipe contest called for healthy/diet-friendly recipes using one of the Saucy Mama mustards. And although I briefly gave thought to throwing some mustard on a bun-less fat-free hot dog and calling it a day, I thought better, and have these potato skins to show for it. The skins are actually gluten free, but they’re also just an all-around good choice for anyone watching calories.
…and if that’s not you — if you’re not a dieting person — don’t worry, I’m sure “devil” Little Bitty will be back soon.
PS – for entering the contest, I get to give away 3 bottles of Saucy Mama mustard. Just leave any old comment here and you’ll be entered!
Potato skins made healthy. Sweet potato skins are brushed with spicy chipotle mustard, then filled with low-fat cheese, turkey bacon, and sun-dried tomatoes. Topped with shredded lettuce and a chipotle mustard yogurt sauce, they’re a sweet and spicy twist on traditional potato skins. Makes 8 skins (serves 4) Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 1 hour Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, stir the Greek yogurt and 1 tablespoon mustard until smooth, then set set aside (reserve remaining mustard). Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times each with fork tines, then loosely wrap each potato in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet and bake 40 to 50 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Allow to cool 5 minutes, then slice each potato in half, lengthwise. Allow to cool 10 minutes (cut side up), then scoop out the inside of potatoes. Rub the outside (skin) of each potato with the reserved mustard, then sprinkle sea salt over top (if desired). Bake the potato skins, skin side up, 5 minutes. Remove from oven, flip the potato skins over, and bake an additional 5 minutes. Sprinkle the turkey bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, and cheese inside the potatoes; bake 3-4 minutes until cheese is melted and toasty.

Love this recipe, Liz!
yum!!! need to try that yogurt sauce!
these sound great and I love the dippage action! I’m all about dips, and the spicy ones are my faves!
This dip definitely has a little kick to it – the mustard is SO spicy! Well, for me at least
Love these! and i think my bf might actually eat them too!
I LOVE coming here for just that reason – one day it’s doritos in brownies, on day is healthy deliciousness! these look perfect and awesome and I want them for my lunch, right now!!
I have always wanted to try the saucy mamas… good luck in the contest… I went to look at it, wanted to vote, dangit!
I left a comment…
I’m glad you enjoy my polar opposite eating
Thank you for commenting on the contest page! I think the voting for it starts next week!
great recipe, love sweet potatoes!
Mustard is my favorite condiment!
Can you believe I never had a sweet potato until a few years ago? I can’t believe I was missing out on the tastiest potato for so many years!
you and i sound like similar eaters! gotta balance all the cookies with some healthy stuff!
LOVE the sound of this!
Exactly — eat a salad for dinner so you can have ice cream for dessert.. or something
Great idea!!! I have to say though that I love “devil” little bitty even more, this one makes me feel kind of bad for having baked vanilla cupcakes today and for planning to eat lasagna!!
Ha, don’t feel bad for baking cupcakes or eating lasagna! Both sound delicious
That mustard sounds amazing, and so do these potato skins! And, I love both angel and devil versions of Little Bitty, haha!
The mustard is really good, I’m not usually a big fan of mustard but I’ve learned that if it’s good mustard, I can be persuaded
Those look quite delicious! Love the colors!
My mom said the same thing – how colorful they were! I love pretty food.
Yum these look SO good! And of course they include Greek yogurt
. I just tried Chobani’s blood orange today… so amazing!!!
I loooove the blood orange – it was such a surprise, too – didn’t think I’d be a fan! Chobani never disappoints, I’m convinced.
Definitely love the sauce for this one. Thanks for posting.
