   Poke potatoes with a fork several times so they won't explode, and, if desired, dust with salt while still wet.

   In a small bowl, combine chives, bacon bits and sour cream; mix well.

6. 6

   Let potatoes cool for several minutes, open, spread with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve with sour cream topping.
