Parmesan Potato Ham Bake

Parmesan Potato Ham Bake,  a delicious side dish for any meal. The perfect combination of Ham and Potatoes and don’t forget the cheese, makes this a new family favourite. The best way to use up that left over Holiday Meal Ham.

I was never a great lover of ham, almost everyone knows that or if they don’t, I tell them. I have to admit when Easter rolled around and my mother would make baked ham, everyone would be excited, but me so I would make sure I over indulged in the chocolate.

But we do grow up and our tastes change and yes I have grown to like cooked ham. I like it especially if it is mixed with some of my favourite ingredients, just like this Parmesan Potato Ham Bake.

This is a quick and easy potato dish, the potatoes are sliced really thin so they cook faster, and when you add my absolute favourite cheese , freshly grated Parmesan cheese and yes some cubed cooked ham.

This Parmesan Potato Ham Bake becomes a delicious side dish.If you are looking for a creamy, white sauce type of Potato Casserole, you won’t find it in this one.

This is probably on the less caloric side, a little milk, some Parmesan cheese, butter and cooked ham is all you need. To get that crunchy topping that we all love in my family, I broil it for a couple of minutes before serving.

It’s too bad my Mom never made this dish, some of that left over baked ham would have gone to good use. Buon Appetito!
