Ingredients

4 medium unpeeled red potatoes
1 package (8 ounces) sliced fresh mushrooms (3 cups)
3/4 cup chopped fully cooked ham
8 medium green onions, sliced (1/2 cup)
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp Cheddar cheese (2 ounces)

Steps:

Pierce potatoes with fork. Arrange potatoes about 1 inch apart in circle on microwavable paper towel in microwave oven. Microwave uncovered on High 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. (Or bake potatoes in 375° oven 1 to 1 1/2 hours.) Let potatoes stand until cool enough to handle.
While potatoes are cooking, spray 4-quart Dutch oven with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Cook mushrooms in Dutch oven 1 minute, stirring frequently; reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 3 minutes; remove from heat. Stir in ham, green onions and red pepper. Cover and let stand 4 minutes.
Split baked potatoes lengthwise in half; fluff with fork. Spread 1 tablespoon of the sour cream over each potato half. Top with ham mixture and cheese.
