Twice Baked Potatoes With Ham


We had ham for Christmas and I've been using the leftovers all over the place. Last night I came up with a twice baked potato dish that was tasty and easy. If you don't have ham, you can replace it with either bacon or even sausage.


I made more than we could eat in a meal - froze the rest for snacks for the kids. I do this with pancakes and waffles, too. It's very easy. Lay each piece on a cookie sheet so that nothing is overlapping. When frozen, move to a freezer container. See - it's simple.


Twice Baked Potatoes With Ham

6 potatoes, baked, then cut in half

2 cups ham, diced into bite-size pizzas

1 cup cheddar cheese

1 cup montery jack cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup Ranch salad dressing

3 TB dijon mustard

1 tsp granulated garlic

1/2 tsp kosher saltground pepper to taste

Smoked Paprika



Preheat oven to 350 F


*Mix all ingredients except for potatoes.


*Scoop the flesh out of the potato halves, leaving 1/2 inch intact for potato shell stability.


*Add potato flesh, then mash with a potato masher.


*Refill the potato skins with the mixture, then dust lightly with paprika.


*Bake for 20 minutes, then turn the oven up to 400, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
