Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use leftover ham for this recipe?
Absolutely! Leftover ham works wonderfully in this dish. Just slice it thinly and layer it with the other ingredients. It will infuse the dish with extra flavor and make use of your leftovers effectively.
What can I do if I don't have a crock-pot?
If you don't have a crock-pot, you can make this dish in a covered oven-safe dish. Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours, checking occasionally and adding a bit of broth if it seems dry.
How do I know when the dish is done cooking?
The dish is ready when the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Cooking on high for 3 to 4 hours usually achieves this, but checking the doneness after 3 hours is a good idea to avoid overcooking.
