While the potatoes are in the oven, seed and dice the avocados and tomatoes into small even pieces. When the diced potatoes are crispy remove from the oven and set aside. Take the drained bacon and dice into small pieces to match the avocados and tomatoes.In a large bowl, add the potatoes, tomatoes, avocado, and bacon and toss together. Remove the largest outer leaves of the endive and begin spooning the filling into them. Repeat as many times needed. Place on a serving platter and serve immediately.
