Instructions

1. It is better to boil the potatoes in their skins for the resti the day before. Choose potatoes that don’t boil.
2. Peel the potatoes and grate them on a coarse grater. Season with salt and pepper. You can add some of the diced ham. Mix everything.

   

3. Heat oil in a skillet over high heat, reduce heat, and add potatoes. Spoon the potatoes into the pan. When the potatoes are browned until golden brown (5-7 minutes), turn them over. Do not try to do it with a spatula, it is unlikely to work. It is convenient to turn over with a plate. Cover the skillet with a large plate and turn over. And then move the sash from the plate into the pan with the right side.

   

4. Cut the remaining ham into cubes. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
5. Put ham on top and sprinkle with a thick layer of cheese. The cheese should melt. To make this happen faster, you can cover the pan with a sieve.
6. Again manipulating the plate, put the sheets on the dish.
