Notas
Make a hole or cavity in the potatoes before cooking to make filling easier later. Cook only until tender but still firm, so they do not break when filling. Cut the ham and mozzarella into small pieces to make the filling more even. Use toothpicks to secure the bacon well and remember to remove them before serving. Serve hot to enjoy the melted cheese.
