Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  2. Peel the potatoes, then rinse, dry and slice very thinly. Mix the potato slices with the olive oil and season to taste. Turn into a baking pan lined with baking paper. Cover with oiled baking or greaseproof paper.
  3. Bake for 1 hour, or until the potatoes are very tender, then top with the sliced ham* and season with a twist or two of pepper.
  4. Beat the eggs and crème fraîche together and pour over the ham. Cover again with the previously used paper and bake for a further 10 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and the ham heated through.
  5. Sprinkle with chives, if using, and serve with mustard and pan-fried tomatoes.
  6. Leftovers? Serve at room temperature with a green salad tossed in a mustardy vinaigrette for a light lunch. And use any leftover crème fraîche as a topping for big baked potatoes, adding lots of chopped chives, and shredded ham, too, if you like.
