cooking spray

4 slices turkey bacon

3/4 cup reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese; shredded

1/4 non-fat sour cream

1 tablespoon fresh chives; minced

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Bake potatoes at 425 degrees for 1 hour or until done. Cool slightly.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out potato pulp, leaving a
1/4-inch-thick shell. Reserve pulp for another use.

2. Place potato shells on a baking sheet. Spray inside of shells with
cooking spray. Bake at 425 degrees for 8 minutes or until crispy; set
aside.

3. Cook bacon according to package directions (microwave is easier), cool
slightly. Chop cooked bacon into small pieces and set aside.

4. Sprinkle cheese evenly in potato shells. Bake again at 425 degrees for 5
minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle evenly with bacon. Spoon sour
cream onto pototoes; sprinkle with chives.
