Cooking time: 40 to 50 minutes

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Microwave potatoes 15 to 18 minutes on high (100 percent power). Let stand 3 minutes. When potatoes are cool enough to touch, halve them lengthwise. Scoop out pulp and place in a bowl, leaving shells intact; set shells and pulp aside. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat; add ham, onion and garlic; cook 5 minutes or until onion is softened. Mash potato pulp; stir in ham mixture, sour cream, salt and pepper. Stuff shells; sprinkle with some parmesan cheese. Place potatoes in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until hot. Garnish with chopped fresh chives and serve.
