• Wash and pat dry potatoes.
• Rub each potato with shortening.
• Prick potatoes several times with fork.
• Bake for 1 hour at 375 degrees.
• Cut in half, and scoop out inside leaving shell, and place on a cookie sheet.
• In a large bowl, beat potatoes for 1 minute.
• Add butter,onion,eggs, and pepper.
• Continue until smooth and fluffy.
• Fold in 1 cup of cheese and 1/2 cup of ham, fill potato shells with mixture.
• Top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese , and 1/2 cup of ham.
• Sprinkle with paprika.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are throughly heated, and cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a cutting board. With the tip of a small, sharp knife, score a lid shape on the top of each potato about a third of the way down, cutting in about 1/8 inch all the way around.
• Spread a 1/4-inch-thick bed of rock salt on a baking tray. Place the potatoes on the bed of rock salt. Bake the potatoes until tender enough to be pierced easily with a wooden skewer, about 45 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and leave them for a few minutes to cool slightly. Leave the oven on.
• Heat a saute pan over high heat. Add the olive oil and, as soon as it swirls easily, add the butter. When the butter foams, add the ham and mushrooms and saute until they are hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the ham and mushrooms to a small mixing bowl.
• Using a small, sharp knife, and protecting your hand from the heat with a folded kitchen towel, carefully cut off the lids from the still-hot baked potatoes, following the scoring marks. With a sharp-edged tablespoon, scoop the flesh from the potatoes, including the lids, leaving a wall about 1/4-inch thick, and transferring the scooped-out flesh to a large mixing bowl. Return the potato shells and lids to the bed of rock salt. Put the tray back in the hot oven, leaving the oven door open, to keep the potato shells and lids warm.
• With a potato masher, mash the potatoes. Season the mixture, to taste, with salt and generously with pepper. Add the creme fraiche or sour cream and the butter and mash to combine them with the potatoes. Stir in the ham, mushrooms, and 2 ounces of the cheese.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and turn the temperature up to 500 degrees F.
• Carefully spoon the mashed potato mixture back into each potato shell. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the filling on each potato. Leave the lids unfilled, placing them around the side of the tray.
• Return the tray to the oven and continue baking the potatoes until they are heated through and the cheese has melted, 7 to 10 minutes. If the cheese has not browned, turn on the broiler and broil the potatoes briefly, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.
• Using tongs, transfer the potatoes to a heated serving platter or individual plates. Place the lids on top of the potatoes at an angle, inserting 1 end partway into the filling to secure them.

Steps:

• Rub potatoes with a drizzle of oil and pierce skins with the tines of a fork. Microwave on high 12 minutes or until tender.
• While the potatoes cook in the microwave, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and saute chopped shallots 2 to 3 minutes or until bits are just tender. Set aside.
• Cool potatoes for 5 minutes, split potatoes down the center, and scrape flesh into a bowl. Set skins aside on a non-stick baking sheet. Preheat broiler to high with oven rack 6-inches from the heat source.
• To the cooked potato in the mixing bowl, add shallots, ham strips, grated cheese, butter, milk or half-and-half, thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Mash mixture with a potato masher or dinner fork until mixture is combined, but not entirely lump-free.
• Scoop mixture in even amounts into skins and broil 2 or 3 minutes to lightly brown stuffed potatoes on top. Serve the halves of stuffed potatoes with salad, dark bread, and butter.

• Mix the crème fraîche, cheddar and parsley, then season really well.
• Roll out just under half the dough on a floured surface to a 25cm circle - it's easier to use a rolling pin and stretch it with your hands at the same time. Lift onto a floured baking sheet that will fit into the freezer. Evenly pile the potatoes on top, leaving a good 2-3cm border. Dot half the crème fraîche mixture on. Follow with the spring onions, then the ham, then dot remaining crème fraîche mixture all over the top. Roll out remaining dough as you did the first, to a little bit bigger than 25cm. Brush the border of the bottom of the pie with water, then lift the top onto the pie. Trim if you need, then press and roll up the border edge to seal. Do this all the way around, then press with the prongs of a fork to really seal it well. The pie is now ready to freeze, brush some cling film with a little oil and wrap it up well. Freeze for up to 2 months or, if cooking immediately, bake the stuffed loaf for 1 hr at 180C/ 160C fan /gas 4 until golden
• Cooking from frozen: Bring the pie out of the freezer in the morning and leave at room temperature for about 3 hrs.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Brush the frozen pie with beaten egg, scatter with a little more cheese if you like, and cover with foil. Bake for 1 hr, then remove the foil and bake for 1 hr more until golden and crisp - poke a skewer into the middle and check it's piping hot all the way through.
