Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Carefully pierce potatoes with a fork. On a baking sheet oil the potatoes well and sprinkle with salt.

  6. Scoop the potato mixture back into the hollowed-out potatoes and top with cheddar cheese and remaining ¼ cup (55 G) of bacon bits.
  7. Bake an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  8. Serve warm with sour cream and chives.
