4 baking potatoes (1 1/2 pounds)

Instructions

Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
Cut thin lengthwise slice off bottom of each potato; discard. Place 2 wooden spoons on opposite long sides of 1 potato on cutting board. Cut potato crosswise into 24 thin slices, stopping when knife hits spoons. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
Microwave on HIGH for 12 to 14 minutes or until potatoes are almost tender. Place in foil-lined 13 x 9 inch pan; brush evenly with 3 tablespoons dressing.
Bake for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Remove from oven. Heat broiler.
Insert bacon pieces alternately with cheese slices between potato slices. Combine Parmesan and chives; sprinkle over potatoes. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
Broil, 4 inches from heat, for 2 to 3 minutes or until topping is lightly browned. Cut in half.

Notes

* The wooden spoons are used to help prevent you from cutting all the way through the potatoes.
