Ham and Swiss Loaded Potatoes

Nothing like coming back after a long absence with something that seems super fattening but isn't. When I told people what I was having for dinner this day everyone thought I had fallen off the wagon. These are relatively easy and cheap and they are super kid friendly. Thing 1 enjoyed his dipped in ranch. 4 out of 5 stars.

Ingredients

• 4 baking potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• 1 cup diced 33%-less-sodium ham (about 6 ounces)
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese divided
• ¹⁄₂ cup thinly sliced green onions divided
• ¹⁄₂ cup fat-free sour cream

1. 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.
2. Preheat broiler.
3. 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.
4. 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.
