Ingredients

• 1 cup sour cream
• 4 slices bacon
• ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 ½ pounds small round red potatoes
• parsley

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place potatoes in a saucepan, and add enough water to cover. Bring to boil, and cook until tender but still firm, about 10 minutes. Drain, and cool in a bowl of cold water.

Step 2

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain, crumble, and set aside.

Step 3

Remove cooled potatoes from water. Pat dry with a paper towel, and cut in half. Using a small spoon, carefully remove a small amount from center, leaving approximately 1/4 inch rim around each potato. Set reserved potato aside.

Step 4

In a bowl, mix together reserved potato, sour cream, bacon, seasoned salt, pepper, and chives. Spoon a small amount of mixture into each potato half and place on a baking sheet. Top each potato off with some shredded cheese.

Step 5

Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is melted and potatoes are warmed through. Garnish with parsley, and serve.
