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.

These potatoes were a little too salty for my taste.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the ham from the filling. It was still really good!

I made these potatoes in my air fryer and they turned out perfectly crispy.

I'm allergic to Gruyère cheese, so I used cheddar instead. It was still delicious!

I topped my potatoes with a fried egg. It was the perfect finishing touch.

I had some leftover mashed potatoes, so I used those to make the filling. It turned out great!

These potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time.

I'm not a huge fan of ham, but I loved these potatoes! The cheese and thyme really balanced out the flavor of the ham.
