Ingredients
Method
Scrub potatoes; prick all over with fork. Microwave at high, turning potatoes halfway through, until tender, about 14 minutes.
Cut off top third lengthwise of each potato; scoop out larger portion into bowl, leaving about 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick walls. Scoop out potato from tops into bowl; discard top skins.
Add milk, cream cheese, salt and pepper to potatoes; mash until smooth. Stir in ham, corn and half of the onions.
Scoop mashed potatoes back into skins, mounding tops. Sprinkle with cheese and remaining onions.
Bake in 450°F (230°C) oven or toaster oven until hot and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
