Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the russet potatoes clean and pat them dry. Rub them with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the potatoes for 45 to 50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer of potato inside the skins to help them hold their shape. Place the scooped-out potato in a mixing bowl.
Mash the potato flesh with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Add the butter, heavy cream, Roquefort cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Stir in the chopped chives and adjust seasoning if needed.
Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each stuffed potato.
Place the stuffed potatoes back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the filling is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional chives.
