- Bake the potatoes Scrub potatoes clean and pat dry. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt if you like (I skip this for lower salt intake). Bake at 400°F for 50–60 minutes or until fork tender.
- Prep the broccoli If using frozen broccoli, thaw under cool water and drain well. If using fresh, steam if desired.
- Fluff the potatoes Slice each potato open and gently fluff the inside with a fork. Add butter, salt and pepper.
- Load them up Top each potato with broccoli, ham and plenty of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Melt the cheese Return to the oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and broccoli is heated through.
Make It a Meal
These loaded baked potatoes are hearty on their own, but you can serve them with a simple side salad or cucumber onion salad for an easy, balanced dinner.
There’s just something about a baked potato piled high with all the good stuff that feels like home to me. This is one of those meals I make when I don’t feel like overthinking dinner but still want something warm and satisfying on the table. It’s simple, it uses what I already have on hand, and somehow it always hits the spot.
If you’ve got leftover ham and a few potatoes, you’re already halfway there. Once you try it, don’t be surprised if it becomes one of those easy go-to dinners you keep coming back to.
