Instructions
PREP OVEN AND BAKING SHEET:
Move the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
PREP POTATOES:
Clean and dry potatoes.
Prick the potatoes with a fork and rub them with oil.
Place potatoes on a wire rack and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
BAKE AND COOL POTATOES:
Bake potatoes for 1 hour or until fork-tender. ** see notes
Remove them from the oven and turn the oven to 375 degrees F.
Allow potatoes to cool until you can handle them.
HOLLOW POTATOES:
Make a large slit in the potatoes lengthwise.
Scrape out the flesh leaving about ⅛ inch thick of shell all the way around the potatoes.
MAKE FILLING:
Add the scraped-out potato to a large mixing bowl.
Add butter, milk, and sour cream and mix until well combined and smooth.
Stir in ¾ cup cheese, bacon, and chives.
Add salt and pepper and stir until well combined.
FILL POTATOES:
Fill the potatoes with filling and place them on a baking sheet or 9x13-inch pyrex dish.
Top each potato with the remaining cheese.
BAKE AGAIN:
Return the potatoes to the oven again and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve with additional bacon, parsley, chives or green onion, and sour cream, if desired.
Notes
You can also cook potatoes in the microwave prior to filling if you would like.
