Ingredients

4 large baking potatoes

Vegetable oil

8 slices bacon

1 cup (250 g) sour cream or crème fraîche

1/2 cup (120 ml) milk (whole or skim, but not fat free)

4 tablespoons butter

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup (125 g) shredded Gruyère cheese, divided

4 tbsp chopped chives

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Lightly cover the potatoes with vegetable oil and place in an ovenproof baking dish.

Bake potatoes for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain off fat, crumble and set aside.

When the potatoes are done, allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and carefully scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Set the skins aside for now.

Add sour cream or crème fraîche, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 the cheese and 3 tbsp of the chives. Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with the remaining cheese and bacon. Bake for 10 minutes more minutes, then broil for another 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately with a sprinkling of the remaining chives.
