Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large baking potatoes
- 1 cup Diced cooked ham
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork, then rub the outside of each potato with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes bake, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly until they are safe to handle.
Slice each potato lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom skin. Gently scoop out the flesh into a bowl, leaving a thin shell of potato to maintain the shape.
Mash the scooped-out potato in the bowl with the butter, then fold in the prepared ham and cheese mixture. Mix until the filling is well combined.
Stuff the potato shells generously with the filling mixture, slightly mounding it on top.
Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
Remove the stuffed potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional green onions if desired, and enjoy your Ham and Cheese Stuffed Potatoes!
