Servings: 16 potato skins
- 8 small russet potatoes (866 grams) scrubbed clean
- 1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (169.5 grams) shredded

Once cool enough to handle, slice the potatoes in half and scoop out most of the insides, leaving about a 1/4 inch of potato in the skin. Spray each side of the potato skin with cooking spray and bake for another 10 minutes.
Top the skins with the cheese and bacon. Bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Add sour cream and chives, and serve immediately.
