Stuffed potato

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 200°C.
• Wash the potatoes well and dry them with a paper towel.
• Make small holes with a fork in each potato so that steam can escape during cooking.
• Rub the potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper, making sure they are well coated.
• Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
• While the potatoes bake, prepare the stuffing.
• In a bowl, combine the grated cheddar cheese, cooked and chopped bacon, and chives.
• When the potatoes are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
• Cut the potatoes in half, lengthwise, and use a spoon to remove part of the pulp, creating a space for the stuffing.
• Be sure to leave a thin layer of pulp around the edges of the potatoes to keep them firm.
• In a bowl, love the pulp of the potatoes removed with a fork. 
  Add the cream, butter and milk, and mix well until you get a creamy consistency.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Mix half of the cheese, bacon and chive filling with the pulp of the mashed potatoes.
• Reserve the other half to cover the potatoes.
• With the potatoes already stuffed, place them in a baking dish and cover them with the rest of the cheese, bacon and chive filling.
• Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Serve stuffed potatoes warm, with sour cream if desired.
