Scoop out the insides of the potatoes into a bowl using a spoon.

Add 1 stick of butter to the bowl with the potato insides.

Measure and add 1.5 cups of sour cream to the bowl.

Add approximately 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese to the mixture.

Season with salt (about 2 teaspoons) and black pepper (to taste).

Blend the mixture until smooth using a blender.

Top with additional cheese and optional bacon bits or chives.

Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven for a second bake.

Check the potatoes after the second bake to ensure they are heated through.
