Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a towel.
Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked. A knife should easily pierce through the skin.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each potato lengthwise in half. Scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch of potato around the edges to create a sturdy shell.
Place the scooped-out potato flesh into a large bowl. Add the butter, sour cream, milk, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, black pepper, and half of the crumbled bacon.
Mash the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato shells, mounding it up slightly.
Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the tops of the potatoes.
Bake the potatoes at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining crumbled bacon and chopped chives.
Serve immediately and enjoy these hearty, flavorful twice-baked potatoes!
