Ingredients:  
4 medium russet potatoes
1/3 c. sour cram
1 tbsp. snipped fresh chives
1/4 c. melted butter
1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
5 slices bacon, cooked

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake the potatoes for 1 hour. Let the potatoes cool enough to touch. As the potatoes are baking, make the sour cream dip by mixing the sour cream with the chives. Place the mixture in a covered container in the refrigerator. Cut the potatoes in half, lengthwise. Scoop out the middle, leaving 1/4 inch of the potato inside of the skin. Brush the entire surface of each potato skin, inside and outside with the melted butter. Place the skins on a cookie sheet, cut side up and broil them for 6 to 8 minutes or until the edges begin to turn dark brown. Sprinkle 2 to 3 tbsp. of cheese into each skin. Crumble the cooked bacon and sprinkle 1 to 2 tbsp. of the bacon pieces onto the cheese. Broil the skins for 2 more minutes, or until the cheese is thoroughly melted. Serve hot, arranged on a plate surrounding a small bowl of the sour cream dip.

Instead of the sour cream dip, I use buttermilk ranch dressing.
