1/2 cup diced fully cooked ham
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped green chilies
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, ham, Parmesan, mayonnaise, chilies, salt and pepper; mix well. Fluff potato pulp with a fork. Top with ham mixture; sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, 10-15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Yield: 4 servings.
