Ingredients
6 small to medium russet potatoes
6 to 8 chives, white and green, chopped
1/2 cucumber, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, diced
8 oz. mushrooms, chopped
2 Tbs. champagne vinegar (can substitute apple cider or balsamic vinegar)

Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 - 1 cup light sour cream
1/2 - 1 cup blue cheese crumbles
6-8 oz. turkey bacon, cooked and diced (optional)
Directions
- Wrap potatoes in aluminum foil and bake at 400 degrees for approximately 45 minutes, or until tender.Let potatoes cool. When cool, cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out most of the soft center and place in bowl. Set aside.
- Brush the potato skin halves lightly with olive oil or spray with canola oil and place them flat side down on a baking sheet. Put the skins in the oven at 400 degrees and cook until hot and crunchy, approximately 10-15 minutes. Add cucumber, celery, tomato, mushrooms and 3/4 of the chives to the potatoes. Add olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Toss well.
- Pull the potato skins out of the oven. Fill each potato skin with the potato salad mixture. Top each with a dollop of sour cream, blue cheese crumbles, turkey bacon (if using), remaining chives and a grind of black pepper. Serve immediately.
