Mini Baked Potatoes

1-1/2 lb. new potatoes (about 15 potatoes)

4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

2 Tbsp. BREAKSTONE’S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream

2 Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese

4 slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, cooked, drained and crumbled

PLACE potatoes in large saucepan; add enough water to cover. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 15 min. or until potatoes are tender.

MEANWHILE, mix cream cheese, sour cream and Parmesan cheese; cover. Refrigerate until ready to use.

DRAIN potatoes. Cool slightly. Cut potatoes in half; cut small piece from bottom of each potato half so potato lies flat. Place on serving platter. Top each potato half with 1 tsp. of the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with bacon and chives.
