Instructions
Cut potatoes in half crosswise. Carefully scoop out a 1/2-inch deep well from the center of each potato half (such as Pampered Chef item #1176 "Core & More")
Arrange potato halves, well side up, into a microwave safe pan (such as PC item #1342 "Small Ridged Baker")
Using a pastry brush, apply the melted to the tops of the potato halves and sprinkle with the sea salt, chili flakes and lemongrass.
Cover potatoes with parchment paper or microwaveable safe paper toweling. Microwave on high power for 8-10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
While potatoes are baking, shred and grate the cheeses (I used PC item #1277 "Rotary Grater")
In a Small Batter Bowl (PC item #2233) combine cheeses, bacon, remaining tablespoon of salt, mayonnaise, and sour cream.
Remove dish from microwave when potatoes are tender and use a small scoop or spoon to scoop cheese evenly into potato halves. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH power for 2 minutes, or until cheese mixture is melted.
Remove pan from microwave and sprinkle with thinly sliced scallions
