Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the potatoes and drain them thoroughly. Finely dice the ham. Wash the scallions and parsley, then chop them finely. Melt the butter over a bain-marie.
Steam the Potatoes
Place a steamer pot over high heat and add 300–350 ml of water. Put the steaming rack inside the pot, arrange the potatoes on top, and cover. Once the water boils, reduce the heat to low and steam for 30–35 minutes. Remove the potatoes and let them cool until warm. Cut each potato lengthwise, scoop out the flesh, and mash it in a large bowl, reserving the potato skins.
Prepare the Filling
Add the diced ham, salt, ground black pepper, chopped scallions, and chopped parsley to the mashed potatoes. Drizzle in the melted butter and heavy cream, and stir until evenly combined. Spoon the filling into the reserved potato skins, sprinkle the surface with the shredded Italian hard cheese, and place the stuffed potatoes on a baking tray.
Bake
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the tray of stuffed potatoes on the middle rack and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and serve.
