Mix together the mozzarella and cheddar cheese in a bowl. Remove 1/4 cup of the mixture and set both bowls aside.
Bake potatoes in microwave until tender. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out potatoes, leaving 1/8-inch shell.

Mix potato with sour cream and butter. Mash with potato masher.
Stir in bacon (reserve a tablespoon or so for sprinkling on top) and 1 1/2 tablespoons chives.
Add 1 1/4 cups of the shredded cheese mixture and mix well.

Fill potato shells with mixture.
