1 tablespoon Chopped Rosemary
8 strips Bacon
1 cup Sour Cream
1 tablespoon Spicy Brown Mustard
2 tablespoons Chopped Chives
Kosher Salt, to taste
Black Pepper, to taste
Preparation
1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Put the potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt. Let boil for 8 minutes so they are cooked but still slightly firm.

5. Bake until the cups are browned and crisp, about 5-20 minutes.
6. While the potatoes are baking, put the bacon into a skillet, and cook over medium heat until crisp. Brain the bacon well and chop it.
7. In a bowl, stir together the sour cram, chopped bacon, mustard, 1 tablespoon chives and salt and pepper to taste. Place the potatoes onto a serving plate and top each with a spoonful of the sour cream and bacon mixture.
8. Garnish with the remaining chives and serve immediately.
