Instructions
- Bake the potatoes either in the oven or microwave. Set aside to cool slightly before continuing with recipe.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, split them open lengthwise. Scoop out the pulp into a medium mixing bowl, leaving a ¼ inch thick shell of potato and skin. Use a fork or potato masher to break up the pulp. Set the potato skins aside.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
- In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the shallot and sauté briefly until softened.
- Add the milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Pour the milk and shallot mixture over the reserved potato pulp in the bowl. Add half the cheese, and all of the remaining ingredients. Mix until well combined.
- Stuff the reserved shells with the potato, ham, and cheese mixture. Sprinkle the tops evenly with the remaining cheese.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese begins to brown.
Notes
- Let the leftovers cool completely, and then place them in an airtight container. They can then be kept in the refrigerator, where they will stay fresh for 3 to 4 days.
- To freeze, start by pre-freezing the potatoes on a baking sheet, making sure they're not touching, for about 1 to 2 hours. Then wrap each potato half individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil for added protection against freezer burn and flavor loss. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat refrigerated leftovers, place them in a 350°F oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are thoroughly heated. To reheat from frozen, simply unwrap and place them on a baking sheet, then warm them in a preheated oven at the same temperature for approximately 25-30 minutes or until they are hot throughout.
