1
Bake the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the potatoes, then poke several holes in each potato with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes until tender.
2
Prepare the Toppings
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the toppings. In a bowl, mix the sour cream, chives, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Cook the bacon bits if not using pre-cooked.
3
Load the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently push the ends to open them up. Add butter, then top with the sour cream mixture, shredded cheese, and bacon bits.
4
Serve
Serve the loaded potatoes warm with a side of your favorite drink such as apple juice or milk.
