User Reviews:

I used low fat sour cream, 2% cheese, and cut the bacon in half to reduce calories and it was still great. It gets too thick though, so milk has to be added after the first day. I did not peel my potatoes and used 6 instead of 4.

Cherry, you bake the potatoes beforehand in the microwave or oven.
