Preparation of Macario Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks.

Let them cook for about ten minutes from boiling, until they are tender.Drain them, place in a bowl, and mash them with a fork (or with a potato masher) coarsely.
Clean the onion and chop it.
Also clean a bunch of parsley with damp kitchen paper and chop it too.In a large pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and let the onion brown over low heat until it softens, then turn off the heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Add them to the potatoes along with the diced cooked ham and mix.Butter a baking dish and pour in the prepared mixture, leveling it just enough to cover the entire dish.
