Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then dry them with a towel.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt to taste, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the potatoes directly onto the middle oven rack and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and a fork easily pierces through the flesh.
While the potatoes are baking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the lemon juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Set aside.
Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before handling.
Slice each potato lengthwise, not cutting all the way through, and gently push the ends inward to open up the potato.
Fluff the inside of the potatoes with a fork, then add a dollop of dairy-free sour cream and sprinkle with nutritional yeast.
Top each potato with the mashed avocado mixture, crispy bacon, and chopped scallions.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve immediately.
