The quantities follow this count.

1 lb cooked ham, thick slices
2 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
5 tbsp butter
3/4 cup whole milk
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

How to cook it

Put the potatoes in a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain well, return the potatoes to the pot, and mash them with 4 tablespoons of the butter and the warm milk until smooth, then season with the salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a skillet over medium heat and warm the ham slices for about 2 minutes per side, until lightly golden at the edges.
Plate a warm ham slice alongside a generous scoop of the mashed potatoes and serve right away.
