Smoked Ham Salad on Potato Coins is delicious and different. The potato coins make a fabulous base for the salad. They are so different from the usual, expected crackers or bread.
The salad is very nice! But I think the star of the show here are the Gruyere potato coins and they’re so easy!
Just slice peeled potatoes, toss with olive oil, top with the cheese and bake until crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside!
They make fabulous bases for things other than this particular salad. But this smoked ham salad is delicious and the perfect topper for the potato coins!
