Scrub potatoes; pat dry. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
Mircowave on HIGH for about 10 minutes; rotate potatoes. Microwave
until temder, about 3 minutes longer. (I prefer to bake in the oven
for firmer shells. 400 degrees for about 1 hour or until tender.)

Pre heat over to 350. Melt butter in a medium skillet over low heat.
Add onion (I like to add a bit of garlic too) cook until translucent
about 5 minutes.

Slice off potato tops. Scoop out potatoes, keeping shells intact;
place pulp in a meduim bowl. Mash potato pulp; add onion and 1/2 cup
cheddar cheese, chives and salt and pepper to bowl.

Spoon potato mixture into shells, dividind evenly. Sprinkle potatoes
with remaining cheddar cheese. Place in mudium casserole dish. Bake
until heated through, about 10 minutes.
Can be made ahead, prepare potatoes as directed 1 day ahead but omit
baking in step 4.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake. Increase baking time to 25
minutes.
