Potato & Ham Cake

This dish is ideal to make when ham on the bone is coming to an end.

1kg Potatoes
25g butter or margarine
1 small onion or shallot
250g cooked ham 
milk
pepper & salt to taste
dried bread crumbs

Method: Mince or cut ham very finely. Slice potatoes very thin. Saute the onion in the butter until golden in colour. In an oven-proof dish, layer potato & ham, adding pepper & salt to taste (beginning & ending with a potato layer).

Pour the milk over the layers, finishing by sprinkling the breadcrumbs on top. Drizzle the butter used for frying onions over breadcrumbs. Bake in medium hot oven until crust is golden brown & potatoes tender.
