Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Prick the potato all over with a fork. Wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes, turning the potato after 2 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and grate the potato on the large holes of a box grater. Season with 2 pinches each salt and pepper and gently toss.
- Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon drippings.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, egg and reserved 1 tablespoon bacon drippings in a medium bowl; pour into the well in the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the grated potato, bacon, cheese and chives.
- Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them all the way to the top. Bake until the muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use a starchy potato variety such as Russet or Yukon Gold. These potatoes will hold their shape well and become fluffy when baked.
- Cook the potatoes thoroughly: Before you start assembling the potato cups, make sure that the potatoes are cooked through. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Use a muffin tin with a nonstick coating: This will help to prevent the potato cups from sticking to the pan and make them easier to remove.
- Don't overfill the potato cups: When you're filling the potato cups, be sure to leave a little bit of room at the top so that they don't overflow.
- Bake the potato cups until they're golden brown: This will ensure that they're cooked through and have a crispy exterior.
- Let the potato cups cool slightly before serving: This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
