- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- On the baking sheet, coat the potatoes with the oil. Season with salt. Bake for 30 minutes or until tender when tested with the tip of a knife, turning over twice during cooking.
- Meanwhile, combine the fresh cheese with the cream until smooth. Add the shrimp, celery and chives. Season with salt and pepper.
