Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut baked potatoes in half and scoop out just enough of the inside of each to leave a shell. Place the scraped out potato in a bowl and put the potato shells on a greased baking sheet.

Mash the potatoes with the sour cream, 1 cup of the cheese and your salt, pepper and chives.

Place spoonfuls of each into the shells until evenly dispersed.

Top potatoes with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.

Top with cooked, crumbled bacon.

Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Enjoy!
