Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup ham
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 tablespoons chives
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry.
Pierce each potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.
Rub the outer skin of the potatoes with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the potatoes in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.
While the potatoes are baking, dice the ham into small pieces and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly until they are safe to handle.
Using a sharp knife, slice off the top third of each potato lengthwise. Scoop out the insides, leaving a thin layer of flesh attached to the skin to create a shell.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the scooped-out potato flesh, butter, sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese (reserve a small handful for topping), and chopped chives into the mashed potato mixture.
Spoon the filling back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly.
Sprinkle the reserved shredded cheese over the stuffed potatoes.
Place the stuffed potatoes back onto the baking sheet and return them to the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown on top.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
