Prepare Potatoes: Pierce the baking potatoes several times with a fork. Arrange them in a circle in the microwave oven and cover them with damp paper towels. Microwave the potatoes on high for about 12 minutes or until they are tender. Remember to rearrange them halfway through the cooking process. Once done, let them stand for 2 minutes.

Prepare Filling: In a small frying pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, pour in the milk and bring it to a simmer.
-
Mix Filling: Pour the milk mixture over the reserved potato pulp. Add in 1/4 cup of grated Gruyere cheese, diced ham, chopped parsley, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
-
Stuff Potatoes: Stuff each potato shell with the prepared filling mixture, ensuring they are generously filled.
-
Bake: Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and sprinkle the remaining grated Gruyere cheese evenly over the top of each potato. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starts to brown slightly.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These Potatoes Stuffed With Ham and Gruyere are best enjoyed hot and fresh from the oven!
