Method
 

Preparation
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. In a skillet, cook diced bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6–8 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. In the same skillet, scramble the eggs in the bacon fat until just set, about 4–5 minutes.
  5. Fold the scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese into the creamy potato mixture.
  6. 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.
  7. Allow to cool slightly, garnish with chives and crumbled bacon, and serve warm.
