Instructions:
- 5 Large Idaho baking potatoes

- 4 Tablespoon Butter
- 1 Cup Sour cream
- 8 Ounce Grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 Tablespoon Chopped chives

- Season the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the oil and salt. Place on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Cook until fork tender, about 1 hour. Remove and cool.
- In a saute pan, over medium heat, render the bacon until crispy, about 6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Peel one potato completely and slice 1/4 of the top off each of the remaining potatoes.

- Top the potatoes with the remaining cheese and the bacon.
- Place back on the baking sheet and bake until the cheese melts, about 8 to 10 minutes. Preheat the grill.
