Ingredients

6 whole Red Potatoes Any Size
6 slices Butter
Salt And Pepper
1 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese
4 slices Bacon, Cooked And Crumbled
6 Tablespoons Sour Cream
6 teaspoons Chopped Chives

Directions

1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, boil the potatoes in lightly salted water about 20 minutes, or until fork tender.
2

Preheat the oven to 450°F.
3

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Using a potato masher, gently press down to mash each one. Tip: To avoid the little buggers from escaping from under the masher, cut an x in the center of the potato about halfway through.
4

Place a slice of butter on each potato and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Sprinkle with cheese and put back in oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Add bacon, sour cream and chives. Serve.
