Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Place the coated potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 35-40 minutes until fork-tender.
  4. Once roasted, cool for 10 minutes. Slice off the tops and scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl.
  5. In the mixing bowl, combine the potato flesh with butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chives. Season with salt and pepper, then mix until creamy.
  6. Carefully spoon the filling into the potato skins and press down lightly. Arrange on the baking sheet.

  8. Garnish with additional chives, flaky salt, and freshly ground pepper. Serve warm.
