👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake at 170°C (340°F) for 45 minutes, or until tender.
Step 2
Remove the potatoes from the oven. Cut a small horizontal “lid” off the top of each potato and carefully scoop out the center with a spoon, leaving the skins intact.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix the eggs, scooped-out potato flesh, ham cut into strips, finely chopped red onion, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture back into the hollowed-out potatoes.
Step 4
Arrange the stuffed potatoes in an oven-safe dish, sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella, and bake at 170°C (340°F) for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
👉 Serve hot and enjoy this explosive burst of flavor!
