Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 medium to large baking potatoes, like russets, washed
A drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon (1 turn around the pan) extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, chopped
1/2 pound baked ham from a deli, sliced 1/8-inch thick, cut into 2-inch thick strips
1/2 pound Gruyere, shredded, about 2 cups
2 tablespoons butter, in small pieces
1/2 cup milk or half-and-half
6 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only, chopped to about 2 tablespoons
Salt and pepper
Tossed and dressed salad, as an accompaniment
Dark bread (pumpernickel, multi-grain, or dark rye), as an accompaniment
Butter

Steps:

  • Rub potatoes with a drizzle of oil and pierce skins with the tines of a fork. Microwave on high 12 minutes or until tender.
  • While the potatoes cook in the microwave, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and saute chopped shallots 2 to 3 minutes or until bits are just tender. Set aside.
  • Cool potatoes for 5 minutes, split potatoes down the center, and scrape flesh into a bowl. Set skins aside on a non-stick baking sheet. Preheat broiler to high with oven rack 6-inches from the heat source.
  • To the cooked potato in the mixing bowl, add shallots, ham strips, grated cheese, butter, milk or half-and-half, thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Mash mixture with a potato masher or dinner fork until mixture is combined, but not entirely lump-free.
  • Scoop mixture in even amounts into skins and broil 2 or 3 minutes to lightly brown stuffed potatoes on top. Serve the halves of stuffed potatoes with salad, dark bread, and butter.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. You can use any type of cheese or ham that you like. I've even used leftover turkey instead of ham.

These stuffed potatoes are a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have ham leftover from Easter, and this is a great way to use it up.

These stuffed potatoes were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less ham next time.

These stuffed potatoes were just okay. The filling was a little bland, and the potatoes were a bit dry. I wouldn't make this recipe again.

I've tried this recipe twice now, and both times the potatoes have been undercooked. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I'm giving up on this recipe.
