Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
4 Idaho baking potatoes
1/4 Bacon
1 Sharp cheddar cheese
1/3 Milk
1 Butter
1/4 Salt
1/8 Pepper
NA Paprika

Instructions:

  1. Arrange the oven rack in the bottom third of the oven, ensuring ample space for the potatoes to bake evenly.

  2. Preheat the oven to 450°F, allowing it to reach the optimal temperature for perfectly cooked potatoes.

  3. Using a fork, prick each potato twice, allowing steam to escape during the cooking process, which helps prevent bursting.

  4. Place the potatoes in the microwave and cook on high for 12-14 minutes, remembering to turn them halfway through to ensure even cooking.

  5. Once cooked, carefully remove the potatoes from the microwave and wrap them tightly with foil, allowing them to rest for 3 minutes. This step helps to soften the skins further and lock in moisture.

  6. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, creating a sturdy base for the stuffing while retaining the iconic potato shape.

  7. Gently scoop out the centers of the potatoes, leaving behind a 1/4-inch thick shell to hold the delicious filling.

  8. Transfer the scooped-out potato filling to a mixing bowl and combine it with the remaining ingredients, excluding the paprika.

  9. Thoroughly mix the ingredients until well incorporated, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors.

  10. Divide the prepared filling evenly among the potato shells, generously stuffing each one to the brim.

  11. Sprinkle the tops of the stuffed potatoes with a dash of paprika, adding a pop of color and a hint of smoky flavor.

  12. Arrange the stuffed potatoes on a jelly-roll pan, ensuring they are evenly spaced for optimal browning.

  13. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully browned and the filling is heated through.

  14. Once baked to perfection, remove the stuffed potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

  15. Serve these delectable Ham and Cheese Stuffed Potatoes hot, garnished with your favorite toppings or as a side dish to complement any meal.

Enjoy your culinary adventure with these Ham and Cheese Stuffed Potatoes, a delightful twist on a classic favorite that’s sure to impress! 🥔🧀🥓
