Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Bake potatoes until tender 45 to 60 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat butter in a skillet. Sauté onions and garlic until tender but not brown. Stir in milk. Heat. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Cut off the top third of the potatoes. Scoop out potatoes leaving 1/4 inch (5 mm) shell. Beat potatoes until smooth. Mix in milk mixture. Stir in bacon, Cheddar cheese and chives. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Spoon or pipe mashed potatoes back into potato skins. Brush tops with melted butter.
