Bake potatoes in a 350 degree oven for 70 - 90 minutes, allow to cool. Once cool enough to handle, slice potatoes in half along longest side and remove soft centers. Reserve potato centers for another use.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange potato halves on a baking sheet flesh side down, and brush skins with melted butter. Season the whole tray with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until skins begin to crisp.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon and scramble the eggs.
When skins are crisp, remove from oven and flip over on the baking sheet so flesh side is up. Fill each boat with cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs, chopped bacon pieces, and more eggs. Top with remaining cheese
Broil filled skins for 4-5 minutes until cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream and minced chives.
