What is the Best Potato to Use

If you can find a variety of potatoes where you live, starchy Russet Potatoes will make the best choice. Not only are they the perfect size for filling, but they are also slightly sturdier, which means they won’t break apart once baked.

How to Make Stuffed Potatoes

• Bake the potatoes. Preheat your oven to 375°F and bake the potatoes for about an hour or two until they are tender and the skins are crispy.
• Cut off the tops. Once the potatoes are done, allow them to cool before cutting off the tops and scooping out the flesh with a spoon.
• Fill the potatoes. Break an egg into each hollowed-out potato. Then add in the ham, cheese, seasoning, and leftover potato flesh.
• Bake the potatoes again. Place the potatoes back in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes until the egg is cooked.

Tips

Short on time and need to cook the potatoes fast? Cook them in an instant pot. For medium potatoes, place 1 cup of water in the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot, then place the potatoes on a rack and cook for 16 minutes. Allow natural pressure release for 15 minutes.

You can choose to keep the egg whole, or you can scramble it lightly before adding the ham and cheese.

Feel free to swap out the ingredients according to your taste preferences.

Swap the ham for bacon.Swap the cheddar cheese for feta, Swiss cheese, or Gorgonzola.

Add fresh herbs for a touch of green.

How to Store Stuffed Potatoes

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge (in an airtight container), for up to 2 days. Reheat in the Airfryer for 10 minutes.

Can I Make Stuffed Potatoes in the Airfryer?

Yes, you can! First bake the potatoes in the Airfryer at 400°F for 30 minutes, until the fork easily slides through to the center.

Fill the potatoes and bake another 15 minutes until cooked through.

Can I Make It Ahead of Time?
