Ingredients

  • 6 russet potatoes
  • kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 7 ounces gruyere cheese, grated
  • 3 1/2 ounces ham, chopped (or crumbled bacon)
  • 1/2 large red pepper, diced
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced

Method

  • Rinse potatoes, prick all over with a fork and place on a bed of salt in a baking dish; bake in a preheated 400F oven for an hour or until just tender, turning once.
  • After the potatoes have cooled slightly, cut in half lengthwise and, using a small spoon, scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato lining each half; brush the potato halves inside & out with butter and place on a baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle with half the cheese, fill the potatoes with ham (or bacon), red pepper & green onions; season with salt & freshly ground pepper and top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until hot & bubbling.
