Ingredients
- 8 medium russet potatoes
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 cup Bothwell Old Cheddar, shredded
- 1 cup Bothwell Mozzarella, shredded
- 4 oz (100 g) cream cheese (room temperature)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup chives (minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Peel potatoes and cut into cubes. Add to a large pot of boiling water. Cook the potatoes on medium heat for approximately 20 minutes or until you can easily pierce them with a fork. Drain cooked potatoes in a colander.
- Meanwhile, chop bacon into small pieces. Cook bacon until crispy. Place bacon on paper towels to remove some of the fat.

- Add half of the chives and bacon. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together and transfer to a buttered baking dish. Top with remaining cheese, bacon and chives.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until top is golden brown. Serve immediately.
