Ingredients

2 Sweet Potatoes
½ cup sour cream
4 slices bacon
¼ cup milk
2 Tablespoons butter melted
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Stab each potato with a fork 4-5 times and bake in preheated oven for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl; save skins.
To the potato flesh add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese, bacon and chives.

Spoon the mixture into the potato skins.
Top each with remaining cheese and return to the oven to bake for another 15 minutes.
Top with extra bacon and more chives.

Notes

*You’ll want to let your potatoes cool for about 10 minutes before cutting it open.

*If you are using a thick/wide sweet potato, you may want to up your microwave time from 7 to 9-10 minutes.
