1. **Bake the potatoes**: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash potatoes, pierce with fork, and bake directly on oven rack for about 45–60 minutes until tender.
2. **Prepare fillings**: While potatoes bake, cook bacon until crispy, sauté mushrooms, and caramelize onions in a pan.
3. **Hollow out potatoes**: Once cool enough to handle, slice the top off each potato and carefully scoop out most of the flesh into a bowl, leaving a sturdy shell.
4. **Mix the filling**: Combine scooped potato flesh with sour cream, bacon, mushrooms, onions, chives, salt, and pepper.
5. **Stuff the potatoes**: Spoon the filling back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly.
6. **Add the raclette**: Top each stuffed potato with generous slices or shreds of raclette cheese.
7. **Melt the cheese**: Place stuffed potatoes under a broiler or in a hot oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
8. **Garnish & serve**: Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve immediately while gooey and warm.
