Ham and Cheese Stuffed Potatoes

1. 1

   Microwave potatoes on high heat for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until tender (or bake them in the oven, but I just zap them in the microwave for convenience).

2. 2

   Let them cool until you can handle them, then split them in half and scoop out the insides into a bowl, leaving just a thin shell.

3. 3

   Add the remaining ingredients, except paprika, to the potatoes in the bowl.

4. 4

   Stir everything together well so that there are no large potato lumps and the cheese and butter have all melted into the mix.

5. 5

   Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins.

6. 6

   Sprinkle a little paprika over the tops.

7. 7

   This is optional, I do it purely because it looks pretty.

8. 8

   Bake in a 375F oven for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are heated through and starting to get just a little browned on top.

9. 9

   Enjoy!
