Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Slice an onion in half, and finely dice.

Melt butter in a saucepan, but do not allow to brown. Using scissors, finely cut bacon. Sauté bacon in melted butter with onion.

Bake the potatoes for about an hour, or until you can stick a fork in them. Let cool 10 minutes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Take a spoon and "carve" the potato out.

Brush the inside and outside of the potato with butter. Sprinkle potatoes with salt. Add cheese to your liking. Mix onions and bacon together. Add onion and bacon mixture to each potato.

Put potato slices on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until skins are crispy and cheese is melted.

Add sour cream and sprinkle chives or minced fresh dill weed over the top.

I made these for the super bowl this year and they were delicious! If you don't want to use butter on the outside of the potato, try using vegetable oil.
