Cheesy Stuffed Baked Potatoes image

These special stuffed baked potatoes are a hit with my whole family, from the smallest grandchild on up. I prepare them up to a week in advance, wrap them well and freeze. Their flavorful filling goes so nicely with juicy ham slices. -Marge Clark, West Lebanon, Indiana
