Carefully pierce potatoes with a fork. On a baking sheet oil the potatoes well and sprinkle with salt.

Step 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.

Step 7

Bake an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Step 8

Serve warm with sour cream and chives.
