Preparation
Potato sandwiches with raw ham and cheese are very easy to prepare.
First of all, wash the potatoes using a vegetable brush, scrub each potato under lukewarm running water. Put them in a large sauce pan and cover with lightly salty cold water.
Bring to the boil and let them cook for about 30 minutes (count 30 minutes when the water begins to boil).
Cooking time will vary depending on how many potatoes and size of pieces.
Drain potatoes and if desired rinse using hot water. Cold water rinsing will cause the potatoes to get lumpy.
Peel the potatoes, then let them cool down for some minutes.
Slice the potatoes lengthwise into three.
Fill with a slice of cheese on each slice of potato, close with another slice of potato.
Wrap with half a slice of raw ham then insert a toothpick in each potato to close it.
Run 1 tbsp butter all over the baking dish surface with your fingers and add the potatoes.
Sprinkle with thyme, some pepper and put the left butter on them.
Bake in the oven, 200°C (390°F) for about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
Here they are. Ready to eat!
Buon appetito!
