4 baking potatoes (medium is fine)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (regular or light)cheddar
1/2 cup sour cream (regular, light or even fat-free)
1 -2 tablespoon minced fresh chives or 1 -2 tablespoon minced green oniononion
1/4 cup butter, melted (or use a substitute)butter
8 slices bacon, sauteed,drained and crumbled (you can use imitation bits or try the 50% leaner bacon bits)bacon

Instructions (18 steps)

01Preheat oven to 425.
02Wash and dry potatoes.
03Prick in several places and bake for 45 minutes to one hour, until baked through.
04Let cool enough to handle.
05While they are cooling, mix the chives with the sour cream and set aside.

06Make 2 lengthwise cuts through each potato.

07You'll wind up with three slices.

08Discard the middle and save for other potato dishes.

09This gives you two nice sized potato skins for each potato.

10Scoop out some of the potato from each skin, but leave about 1/4" of the potato inside the skin so it doesn't collapse.

11Brush with some melted butter (yes, you can use Canola, too).

12Place on a cookie sheet, skin side up and run under broiler for about 5 minutes, just until edges begin to turn brown.

13Sprinkle the cheese among the 8 skins.

14Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it on top of the cheese.

15Broil for about 2 more minutes or until cheese is melted.

16Serve hot, arranged on a plate surrounded by sour cream chive dip.

17Other Good Toppings: Don't stop here.

18Think of your own likes- salsa, green onions, chopped tomatoes, guacamole, etc.
