Directions
- Making the potatoes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pierce potatoes several times with a fork. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add peppers and onion; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add ham; sauté for 5 minutes more.
- Reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Cool potatoes slightly. Slice tops off potatoes and scoop out pulp. Stir in 1 cup Colby, milk, sour cream and vegetable mixture. Spoon mixture into potato shells.
- Sprinkle potatoes with remaining Colby. Place on baking sheet. Bake until heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve with roast.

Making the Roast:
- Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees. Rub the pepper evenly over beef, pressing gently so pepper adheres.
- Place the herbs in a large measuring cup and chop using kitchen shears.
- On a sheet of waxed paper, combine fresh and dried herbs. Roll beef in herb mixture to completely coat.
- Loosely tie the beef at 2-inch intervals with kitchen twine. Place beef on roasting rack.(Do not tie the beef too tightly
-
or the flavorful meat juices might escape.)
- Roast until an instant-read meat thermometer registers 155 degrees for medium, about 30 minutes. let stand for 5 minutes; carve into thin slices.
