Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Ham, diced
• 1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 pieces Green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry with a towel. Rub the skins with olive oil and pierce each potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape.

Step 2

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking tray and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork.

Step 3

Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly, about 5-10 minutes, until they are safe to handle.

Step 4

Using a sharp knife, carefully slice off the top third of each potato. Scoop out the insides into a large mixing bowl, leaving about a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Place the hollowed-out potato shells on a baking tray.

Step 5

To the bowl with the scooped-out potato, add the butter, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Stir in the diced ham, shredded Gruyere cheese, and sliced green onions. Mix well to evenly incorporate all the ingredients.

Step 7

Spoon the potato mixture back into the hollowed potato shells, packing it in gently and mounding slightly over the tops.

Step 8

Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden-brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley if using. Serve hot and enjoy!
