Fill a medium pot with water. When it comes to a boil, add two tablespoons Kosher salt.

Place potatoes into water and boil for 15 minutes until fork tender.

In a small microwavable bowl, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.

Drain the potatoes and pat dry if needed so that the olive oil will adhere to the skin.

Pour the 3 tablespoons olive oil into a large bowl, add salt and pepper to taste and add potatoes. Toss gently to coat.

Bake for 5 - 7 minutes.

Using 1 tablespoon of the chives, sprinkle each potato.

Place an equal amount of grated cheese on each potato.

Sprinkle the remaining chives on top.
