Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.

• Discard the middle and save for other potato dishes.
• This gives you two nice sized potato skins for each potato.
• Scoop out some of the potato from each skin, but leave about 1/4" of the potato inside the skin so it doesn't collapse.
• Brush with some melted butter (yes, you can use Canola, too).
• Place on a cookie sheet, skin side up and run under broiler for about 5 minutes, just until edges begin to turn brown.
• Sprinkle the cheese among the 8 skins.
• Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it on top of the cheese.
• Broil for about 2 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
• Serve hot, arranged on a plate surrounded by sour cream chive dip.
