I made this recipe for my aunt's open house and the potatoes were a huge hit...everyone kept coming back for more! The only change I made was to omit the black olives - instead I topped the potatoes with baby shrimp in addition to the chives and bacon. The recipe was super easy to prepare and made a beautiful presentation on a silver tray decorated with decorative lettuce. This recipe is going on my "must have" list for parties. Thanks HeatherFeather for a great recipe!

I must admit that I did not use this recipe as written, but used it as inspiration. I had bought an herbed cream cheese and smoked salmon for a holiday party. When I saw this recipe I thought it was such a great way to present my recipe that I had to use it instead of the same ole crackers. I mixed the herbed cream cheese with sour cream. Used a star tip to fill potato cups and topped them with small pieces of smoked salmon and a sprig of dill. They were beautiful and gone! Thank you so much for the great idea and I will have to try your version very soon. Who doesn't love baked potatoes?!!
