Ingredients:
2 lb. red potatoes 1 lb. good quality smoked ham 1/3 c. vegetable oil 1 lb. (1 large or 2 medium) sweet onions thinly sliced salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/2 c. water 1/2 c. coarsely grated provolone cheese
Directions:
Place the unpeeled potatoes in a saucepan with water to cover. Bring to boil and simmer uncovered until tender about 15 minutes. Drain, let cool slightly, then remove skins and cut the potatoes into 1/8” slices. Preheat oven to 350°. Trim away excess fat from the ham and cut into 1” pieces. Heat 2 T. oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add half the onions and sauté 15-20 minutes. Add half the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Add half the ham and sauté until the potatoes are golden on both sides, 8-10 minutes, adding more oil if needed to prevent sticking. Transfer to an oven proof casserole and repeat the process with the remaining ingredients. Drizzle water over the top, sprinkle on the cheese, then bake uncovered for 30 minutes, until the water has been absorbed and the top is lightly crusted and the cheese is golden. Serve hot.
