HAM-AND-SWISS-LOADED POTATOES

Category: Pork

4 baking potatoes (about 1 1/2 lbs)
1 cup diced ham
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese, divided
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions, divided
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 tsp black pepper

Pierce potatoes with a fork; arrange in a circle on paper towels in microwave oven. Microwave at high 16 minutes or until done, rearranging potatoes after 8 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.

Preheat broiler.

Cut each potato in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Combine potato pulp, ham, 1/2 cup cheese, 1/3 cup green onions, sour cream, and pepper.

Spoon the potato mixture into shells. Combine 1/2 cup cheese and remaining green onions, and sprinkle over potatoes. Place potatoes on a baking sheet; broil 4 minutes or until golden. Serves 4
