Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Using a sharp knife, make crosswise cuts in each potato, approximately 1/8 inch apart, and 1/8 inch from the bottom.
Add the potatoes to the water, boil for approximately 4 mins. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the garlic, chives & parsley. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
Slice bacon crosswise into small pieces, 1/8 inch wide. Carefully insert one piece of bacon into each slice of potato, letting the bacon poke out of the top of each slice.
Place the potato on a baking sheet. Drizzle the potatoes with half the butter mixture.
Heat oven to 350°F & bake potatoes until tender. Wait until bacon is crisped to desired doneness, approximately 30 mins.
