- ½ pint sour cream
- ½ stick butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika
- Grated cheddar cheese for topping
- Chopped fresh chives for garnish
Directions:
- Rub potatoes with oil and bake in 375° oven for 1 hour until small knife blade can be inserted easily; remove and set aside
- Into a skillet fry bacon until crisp; remove and set on paper towel
- Into the bacon drippings sauté onion and green onions until wilted
- In a bowl mix the sauteed vegetables with the cream cheese until thoroughly blended
