How to Make Twice Baked Jalapeno Ham Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and bake 4 large russet potatoes until tender (approx. 1 hour).
  3. Once cool enough to handle, cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a ½-inch shell. Roughly chop the scooped potato flesh.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the scooped potatoes, 1 cup cooked diced ham, 1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference), 1/4 cup milk (or more, as needed), 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon butter, and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Mix well until thoroughly combined. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Fill each potato shell with the potato mixture, mounding slightly.
  7. Top with remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra jalapeños, if desired.
