For a vegetarian variation, substitute the ham with roasted bell peppers or mushrooms, creating a vibrant and flavorful alternative.
Accompanying this main course are two delectable recipes: a refreshing Cucumber and Tomato Salad and a rich and creamy Chocolate Mousse. The salad, with its crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, and tangy dressing, provides a light and refreshing contrast to the indulgent potato bake. The chocolate mousse, a classic dessert, offers a delightful finish to the meal, with its airy texture and decadent chocolate flavor.
These recipes, curated by Kittencal, a culinary enthusiast known for her creative and approachable dishes, promise a delightful and satisfying dining experience.

KITTENCAL'S BAKED CHEESY MASHED POTATO PATTIES/CROQUETTES
Since I make these all the time I really don't even bother to measure, the ingredient amounts listed are close to the amounts I usually use you can adjust the amounts to taste, I have left the Parmesan as optional I like to add it in --- for the best texture the potatoes must be russet and they should be oven-baked --- I have use panko in place of the butter crackers but I think the crackers give a better taste --- yield is only estimated depending on the size you make the croquettes --- you may make the mashed potato mixture up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to roll and bake ----- you will love these!

KITTENCAL'S BAKED POTATO SOUP
If you prefer an extra creamy soup use 5 cups half and half cream, adjust the chili flakes to suit heat level or you may omit, make certain to oven-bake the potatoes not boil it will make a difference in flavor, prep time does not include baking the potatoes, this soup is best if used the same day, it does not reheat well --- *note* for a lower fat option omit or reduce the bacon amount, use low-fat milk, sour cream and cheddar cheese :)
