Generously fill the potato shells with sour cream and chive potato mixture. (Potatoes may be prepared a day ahead to this point – cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before baking.) Arrange potatoes on baking tray. Melt remaining teaspoon of butter and drizzle on potatoes. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until potatoes are hot and golden on the tops.
