Ham & Potato Pie
As much as I love it a full ham steak can be rather a lot for me to eat on my own. I prefer to have a real slice of ham, as above. Not the preformed ham steaks you buy in the store. They’re okay, but real ham is better.
The fourth piece was cubed today and used to make this delicious Ham & Potato Pie for two. So you can see it has ended up being quite an economical purchase for me when you consider that I will get four meals from it.
- 7 ounces/200g ham steak, diced (about 1 1/4 cups)
- 2 TBS chopped onion
- 1/2 stick celery chopped
- 1 1/2 TBS butter
- 1 1/2 TBS flour
- 1 cup (250ml) chicken stock
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
- salt and black pepper to taste
- pinch of cayenne powder
- a spring of fresh thyme
- 1 cup (180g) frozen mixed vegetables (no need to thaw)
- 1 TBS grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 large russet potato, peeled and cut into large cubes (3/4 pound)
- 2 - 3 TBS warm milk
- 1 TBS butter
- 2 ounces (50g) grated sharp/strong cheddar cheese
- 1 TBS finely grated onion
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 small egg yolk
- melted butter to brush on top and a scattering of Parmesan cheese (optional)

- 1 cup (180g) frozen mixed vegetables (no need to thaw)
- 1 TBS grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 large russet potato, peeled and cut into large cubes (3/4 pound)

- 2 ounces (50g) grated sharp/strong cheddar cheese
- 1 TBS finely grated onion
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 small egg yolk

- Melt the butter in a skillet. Once it begins to foam add the celery and onion. Cook stirring frequently, until they soften without browning. Add the ham. Cook for several minutes longer.
- Sprinkle the flour over top, stirring to coat everything in the flour. Cook for a minutes. Whisk in the stock and the milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture bubbles and thickens.
- Whisk in the Parmesan cheese if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the cayenne and the thyme sprig. Simmer on low while you make the mash.
- Place the potatoes into a pot of lightly salted water. Bring to the boil. Reduce to a quick simmer and cook for 15 minutes until fork tender. Drain well.
- Return to the hot saucepan and shake over the residual heat of the burner to dry the potatoes out a bit. Add the milk and butter, mashing with a potato masher until smooth. Stir in the grated onion and cheese, stirring to melt the cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Whisk in the egg yolk.
- Preheat the oven to 400*F/200*C/ gas mark 6. Have ready a 2 cup deep casserole dish.
- Pour the ham filling into the dish. Top with the cheesy mash mounding it and leaving it rough. Brush with butter and sprinkle with cheese if using.
- Place the casserole onto a rimmed baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until bubbling and golden brown.
