How to make baked potatoes with ham

Be sure to make this delicious baked potato recipe with the following steps below.

1. We are going to put a pot of water in the kitchen over high heat with a pinch of salt and let it boil.
2. We start by removing the shell from the potatoes, for this, we are going to take a peeler or knife and start peeling. After having peeled, we will proceed to wash them very well with plenty of water to remove the dirt they may have.
3. Now we are going to cut them into thin slices, this with the help of a cutting board and a knife and then we reserve them. Ideally, they should be approximately 5 millimeters thick so that they cook well and also do not break.
4. When the water is boiling and we have all the potatoes peeled we put them in the water and let them cook only for 10 minutes with the intention that they soften a little. It is important that potatoes should not be cooked completely.
5. While the 10 minutes pass we will continue with the recipe. In a pot we will add the butter and add the garlic that should be peeled and finely chopped. Let it be transparent and then add the cream, season with salt and pepper to taste and let it boil. Do not add a lot of salt since the cheese has enough salt.
6. When it begins to thicken we turn off the heat and let it rest. After 10 minutes we take the potatoes out of the water, on the other hand we are going to take the mold or oven refractory and start placing the potato layers. When we have half the potatoes in the mold, it is time to include the first bath of the milk mixture, a layer of cheese and ham. We moisturize everything and continue with this procedure until we no longer have potatoes.
7. When we have all the potatoes in the mold we will add the rest of the cream and the rest of the cheese. The last layer of ham and cheese so that it is well gratinated. Cover the mold with a sheet of aluminum foil and take to the oven that must be preheated and let cook for 30 minutes at 180 degrees.
