Making Twice Baked Potato Bites is easier than you might think. Follow these simple steps to create these delicious snacks:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a towel.
3. Bake Potatoes: Prick each potato several times with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until tender.
4. Cool and Halve: Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each potato in half lengthwise.
5. Scoop Out Filling: Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the inside of each potato half, leaving a small border to maintain the shape.
6. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped potato, cheddar cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, bacon, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
7. Refill Potatoes: Spoon the filling back into each potato skin, pressing lightly to pack it in.
8. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle the tops with olive oil for added flavor and crispiness.
9. Bake Again: Place the filled potato halves back in the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the tops are golden and crispy.
10. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with extra chives or cheese if desired. Serve warm.
