Sheet pan
Medium bowl
Pastry bag with a large tip or gallon-size zip-top bag
2 pounds new potatoes, scrubbed
3 slices cooked bacon
½ cup finely grated extra-sharp cheddar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons sour cream
Extra grated cheese
One 2-ounce bag potato chips (the wackier the flavor, the better)
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

1
Make the potatoes:
2
Preheat the oven to 400F.
3
Place the potatoes on a sheet pan and roast dry until easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.
4
Let cool slightly until easy to handle.
5
Cut each potato in half.
6
Trim a slice from the bottom of each half so the halves can stand up on their own.
7
Chop the scraps and place in a medium bowl.
8
Working over the same medium bowl, use a 12 teaspoon to scoop out most of the inside of each potato half and place the insides in the bowl of scraps.
9
Place the shells, cup side up, back on the sheet pan.
10
Finely chop the bacon and add it to the bowl of potato scraps.
11
Mix in the cheese, butter, and sour cream until combined.
12
HOLD IT?
13
You can keep the hulled potato shells and potato mixture, covered and refrigerated, for up to 6 hours.
14
Preheat the oven to 400F.
15
Place the potato mixture in a pastry bag with a large tip or zip-top bag with the corner cut off, and fill each potato shell on the sheet pan, like a little deviled egg.
16
Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
17
If desired, top with more cheese, and bake 5 minutes more, until melted.
18
If you like, stick a potato chip in each one and top with chives.
19
PLATE IT!
20
Plate these guys on a long serving vessel.
21
If you are really crazy, make them the centerpiece in the rauchbier soup and pour the soup around.
22
BREAK IT: A touch of balsamic vinegar will add a fruity and zippy note.
23
It may seem weird on paper, but salt and vinegar chips are the best chips.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
