Mediterranean Twice Baked Potatoes

These Mediterranean Twice Baked Potatoes are a flavorful twist on the classic baked potato. Save to make as a single-serve snack or a side for dinner!

These Mediterranean Twice Baked potatoes takes the classic comfort food and gives it a bright, fresh twist. The fluffy potato middle is scooped out, then mixed with creamy Greek yogurt, a squeeze of lemon, diced scallion, salty feta, sea salt, and pepper. The tangy, herby filling is spooned back into the potato shell and baked until warm and lightly golden, creating the perfect base for a burst of fresh toppings.

Once baked, each potato is finished with a vibrant Mediterranean salad—think crisp cucumber, juicy tomato, briny olives, and fresh herbs—for a pop of color and crunch. It’s light yet satisfying, making it an ideal single-serve snack or a flavorful side for dinner. Each bite is a perfect mix of creamy, tangy, salty, and fresh.
