Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes
1 cup sour cream
½ cup milk
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
⅓ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
¼ cup chives, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub and poke holes in the potatoes before baking them directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes until tender.
Once cooled slightly, cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl.
Add sour cream, milk, butter, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chives, salt, and pepper. Mash until creamy.
Spoon the filling back into the potato skins and mound slightly at the top.
Place filled potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Garnish with extra chives or cheese if desired and serve hot.
