A few weeks back I had a quantity of cold, cooked gammon leftover from Sunday lunch; we’d already had gammon sandwiches and being a chilly evening I didn’t really fancy having a cold dinner again so I put out my dilemma to Twitter and the lovely Hampshire cook answered my prayers with her fabulous potato bake!
After a quick scan of the recipe I didn’t have any leeks, or indeed the correct potatoes and improvised with the last of some rather large new potatoes, sliced thinly, along with some sautéed onions, that were abandoned from a plan to make a frittata with the previous night.
Oh my it was lush! Beautiful layers of creamy potatoes, smokey salty ham and the onion disbursed through. Next time I cook gammon I will be ensuring we have leftovers, specifically to make this dish!
Oooh that does look good Anne!
ReplyDeleteLush Indeed. I love potatoes too, and I think they go with gammon so well.
ReplyDeletegammon, potatoes and greenery - doesn't get much better than that!
ReplyDeleteYour recipe idea almost makes me cry, it sounds that lovely. My hubby hates potatoes with a passion and this sort of meal is everything he hates in a dinner. For me, it's everything I love. It's no good, he's going to have to have fish fingers one night, so that I can have this! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone - it is definitely my new favourite potato dish!
ReplyDeleteJenny - can't believe your hubby dislikes potatoes! Definitely make it and just grab a fork, let him make his fish fingers ;-)
