Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce russet potatoes several times with a fork and bake for 45–60 minutes, or until tender.
- Slice off the tops of the cooled potatoes and scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl. Mix the potato flesh with butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper until creamy.
- In a skillet, cook diced bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6–8 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- In the same skillet, scramble the eggs in the bacon fat until just set, about 4–5 minutes.
- Fold the scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese into the creamy potato mixture.
- Spoon the filling back into the potato skins and top with extra shredded cheddar cheese. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes.
- Allow to cool slightly, garnish with chives and crumbled bacon, and serve warm.
