How to Make Bacon Cheddar Sour Cream And Chive Twice Baked Potatoes

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce potatoes several times with a fork.
2. Wrap each potato individually in aluminum foil.
3. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
4. Remove potatoes from oven and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, carefully unwrap.
5. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise.
6. Using a spoon, gently scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Set aside the scooped potato flesh.
7. In a large bowl, combine the scooped potato flesh, melted butter, crumbled bacon, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, sour cream, chives, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
8. Fill each potato skin with the mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the filling.
9. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely, until cheese is lightly browned. (Keep a close eye to prevent burning).
11. Top with extra sour cream and chives, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
