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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 3

Pierce each potato several times with a fork, then rub the outside of each potato with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly until they are safe to handle.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Stuff the potato shells generously with the filling mixture, slightly mounding it on top.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Remove the stuffed potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 12

Garnish with additional green onions if desired, and enjoy your Ham and Cheese Stuffed Potatoes!
