Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C.
Prick the potatoes a few times and season. Wrap in sheets of aluminium foil and bake for 60-70 minutes until soft. Remove from the oven and keep wrapped in the foil.
Finely chop the bacon tails. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat until hot then fry the chopped bacon for a few minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Heat the grill to hot and grill the main parts of the bacon for 4-5 minutes, turning once. Unwrap the potatoes and cut in half. Top with the chopped bacon, sour cream, chives and main parts of bacon before serving.
