Steps
To make the Potato and Cooked Ham Millefeuille without precooking, first slice the potatoes thinly using a mandoline after peeling and washing them. Let them rest in a saltwater solution for about 30 minutes. Dry them and season with a drizzle of oil and salt. Mix well.
Brush the bottom of the baking pan with a little oil and arrange the potatoes as in the photo, overlapping them slightly. Garnish with some grated cheese and mozzarella, then add the cooked ham.
Continue alternating the layers until you run out of ingredients. On the top layer do not put cooked ham, only potatoes with mozzarella and grated cheese.
Bake in a preheated convection oven at 356°F for 45 minutes or until the potatoes on top are golden. You can comfortably prepare the recipe in advance and freeze it raw or cooked, or store it in the refrigerator in either case for up to 24 hours.
