Another yummy-sounding recipe that I am posting for safekeeping. This is baked in an 11-12 inch baking dish or skillet about 2 inches deep or individual baking dishes about 6 inches in diameter.

The potatoes were a little too crispy for my liking. I think I would have preferred them to be a little more soft and fluffy.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had added some more salt and pepper.

I'm not a big fan of ham, but I really enjoyed this dish. The potatoes and eggs were so flavorful that I didn't even miss the meat.

I made this dish for my family last night and they loved it! The potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the ham and eggs were cooked to perfection.
