Ingredients

Lemon Chive Sour Cream

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Prick potatoes all over with a fork. Place in oven for about 1 hour or until tender.


Step 2

Lemon Chive Sour Cream:

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together sour cream, chives, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.


Step 3

Cut potatoes in half horizontally and scoop out flesh into a bowl, leaving 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick shell. (Reserve flesh for another use.) Place potato skins on prepared pan. Drizzle each with butter and sprinkle with salt, Herbes de Provence and pepper.


Step 4

In a bowl, stir together asparagus, Asiago and ham. Spoon into shells. Return to oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Serve with Lemon Chive Sour Cream.

 

Bacon, Cheddar Variation:

Substitute chopped cooked bacon for the ham, cheddar for the Asiago and omit asparagus. Stir in 2 green onions, chopped.
