00:00You won't see this one coming.
00:02Some ham and cheese stuffed potatoes that are super easy to make.
00:08Hey there, Marra.
00:09Today we're making one of those recipes that always hit the spot.
00:13Marra, these are ham and cheese stuffed potatoes.
00:16First, we'll cook the potatoes.
00:18You can do it however you like.
00:21If you want to save a little time,
00:23you can place them in a bowl with water
00:25and pop it straight into the microwave.
00:28In about 12 minutes at full power, they'll be cooked.
00:34Mind you, wash them thoroughly first
00:36because we're going to use them skin on.
00:39Once they're nicely cooked,
00:41grab some oven mitts or any old kitchen towel
00:44and take them out.
00:46Out!
00:47Once you have them out of the water,
00:49it'll be time to cut them in half.
00:53So grab one and another,
00:55and in my case, the third.
00:58As you can see, I'm using just three potatoes,
01:01but pretty big ones.
01:03I cut them in half with a good little knife.
01:07And if I want them to stand up,
01:09I have to cut off this little bottom part
01:11so they stay flat
01:12and stand upright with this little trick.
01:16Now, what we'll do is hollow out the inside.
01:18You can use a knife, a fork, a spoon,
01:22or one of these little gadgets.
01:24That makes like little potato balls.
01:27We're going to scoop out the inside,
01:29making a kind of little potato basket.
01:32Don't you dare throw away the inside, though,
01:35because we're going to use it
01:36just by mashing it with a fork
01:39until it ends up pasty like this.
01:42And adding a bit of magic to this.
01:44First, a splash of cream,
01:47and heavy cream works too if you want.
01:50Salt to taste.
01:52I like to add something aromatic.
01:54Rosemary, for example.
01:56It's so good.
01:57And we're also going to add
01:59a bit of finely diced Serrano ham
02:01and a bit of grated or diced cheese.
02:04We're going to mix all of this up,
02:06and it's going to make a delicious filling
02:08for these little potatoes.
02:11So let's get to it.
02:13I recommend doing it
02:14with a couple of small spoons,
02:16distributing the filling,
02:17and then pressing down at the end
02:19so it stays nice and compact inside.
02:23I like to add the final touch
02:26so it gets a nice bit of color.
02:27So I save a little bit of the shredded cheese
02:30and put it right on top.
02:32Not too much.
02:33We don't want too much browning.
02:35Just a little bit.
02:36Two.
02:37Help it brown better.
02:38Now, into the oven at 200 degrees Celsius,
02:42which is about 395 Fahrenheit,
02:46heat from both top and bottom,
02:48until you see them start to brown.
02:50That'll be the moment to open the oven again,
02:53pull it out,
02:54and get ready to enjoy.
02:57And if you want to give it
02:58that final aromatic touch
03:00with a bit of chopped parsley on top,
03:02even better.
03:03I bet you'd love
03:04to have this dish right in front of you.
03:08Look, look, look, look how amazing that looks.
03:10What a fantastic dish
03:11we've whipped up in no time.
03:13Packed with flavor.
03:14Fantastic.
03:15And on top of that,
03:16beautiful.
03:17It really has it all.
03:19Easy, fast, tasty, delicious,
03:21and eye-catching.
03:23It's got everything going for it.
03:24And with that feeling,
03:26that simply...
03:32Can't be any more delicious.
