Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Wash the potatoes and pierce them with a fork several times each. Roast them on the oven rack for 1 hour.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes, or until you can handle them safely.
Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the potato into a large bowl.
Add the butter, sour cream, 5 ounces of the cheese, 4 slices of bacon, milk, salt, and pepper. Use a potato masher to mash all of the ingredients together until well combined.
Grease your casserole pan and add the potato mixture, spreading it out to an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved bacon and cheese over the top.
Bake the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle with the chives before serving.
