Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Cooking spray
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon mustard powder
2 cups goat's milk or regular milk
1/2 pound country ham, thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds red potatoes, sliced 1/4-inch-thick on a mandoline (about 5 cups)
1 1/2 cups grated Gruyere
Sliced green onions, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-by-8-inch flameproof baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and saute until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour and stir until combined. Cook 1 to 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Add the garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, the cayenne and mustard powder. Whisk in the milk. Allow to cook and thicken slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Line the baking dish with a crisscrossed layer of country ham, then a layer of slightly overlapping potatoes, then about 2/3 cup sauce. Repeat the layering until all the ingredients are used. You should have a total of 3 sets of layers, ending with the sauce on top. Top with the Gruyere and cover with foil. Bake until the potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.
  • Remove the foil and spoon off any fat that has pooled in the baking dish, if needed. Switch the oven to broil and broil until light golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham. A good country ham will be dry-cured and aged for at least 6 months. It should have a deep red color and a slightly salty flavor.
  • Soak the ham before cooking. This will help to remove some of the salt and make the ham more tender. Soak the ham in cold water for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours.
  • Cook the ham slowly. Country ham is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly in order to become tender. Bake the ham at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes per pound.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ham is cooked properly. The internal temperature of the ham should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for a medium-rare ham, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for a well-done ham.
  • Make smashed potatoes. Smashed potatoes are a classic side dish for country ham. To make smashed potatoes, boil potatoes until tender, then smash them with a fork or potato masher.
  • Serve the ham with smashed potatoes and your favorite sides. Country ham is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular sides include collard greens, black-eyed peas, and cornbread.
