"We love all the flavors of a loaded baked potato, but not the fat/saturated fat. So I turned that into a low fat smashed (or mashed, if you like) potato side dish. Portions are filling, and are approximately 5.5 grams of fat per person (calculated from the labels of all the ingredients), including the bacon pieces."
Microwave potatoes until fork tender (or steam, boil or bake).
With a masher (or large fork, if you do not have one), smash potatoes a little (I leave the skins on, but feel free to remove them, if desired). Add light butter, and smash a little more. Be careful not to overmix, or potatoes will become glue-y.
Add milk and stir or mash into potatoes. Stir in sour cream, bacon pieces and chives. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Rewarm for about 45 seconds in the microwave and serve.
