Ingredients:

  • 12 to 15 baby red-skinned potatoes, washed, skins on
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 5 tablespoons finely sliced scallion or chives
  • 2 to 3 strips crisply cooked bacon, crumbled or finely chopped
  • freshly ground black pepper

Directions:  

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Cut potatoes in half crosswise. Mix with oil in a bowl.
  3. Place cut side down on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake potatoes until just tender, about 25 minutes, and cool completely.  
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, 4 tablespoons of scallion or chives, and bacon. Add pepper to taste.
  6. Cut a thin slice off the rounded end of each potato so that it will sit upright. Turn the potatoes over and, using a melon baller or a small spoon, scoop out some of the center of each potato (reserve for later use in potato pancakes or gnocchi).
  7. Fill with 1 tablespoon of the sour cream mixture, and garnish with the remaining scallion or chives.
  8. Serve immediately or cover and chill until needed. 

Makes 24 to 30 potato halves.
