Luscious Potato Skins

My son-in-law Josh loves when I make potato skins.  He often asks me to make them. 

6 Russet potatoes

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

16 slices bacon, cooked

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup minced chives

1. Bake russets wrapped in foil in 425 degree oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until cooked through. 
2. Remove foil.
3. Cut russets in half lengthwise and scoop out potato filling, leaving 1/4 inch of potato remaining.
4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese into each half.
5. Crumble bacon into bits and sprinkle 1 teaspoon on top.
6. Place on cookie sheet and put back in oven 350 degrees for 5 minutes or until cheese melts.
7. Dollop 1 tablespoon sour cream and 1 teaspoon chives on each potato skin.

Serve immediately.
