• Meanwhile, in skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and cook onion for 10-12 minutes or until soft and translucent. Drain potatoes thoroughly and place in large bowl with remaining butter, salt and pepper. With mixer or potato masher, blend potatoes and butter until mixed while retaining a slightly chunky texture. Fold in cooked onion, eggs, ham and chives.
• Line baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease. In ring mold or biscuit cutter, sprinkle bottom interior with bread crumbs and fill mold with potato mixture until top is slightly rounded, topping again with bread crumbs.

Top with Parmesan cheese and serve hot.

COUNTRY HAM AND SMASHED-POTATO HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add cold water to cover by 1 inch. Salt the water generously and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, 7 to 10 minutes, depending on size. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the ham and saute, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 4 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Add the onions and red peppers to the skillet and saute, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to another bowl.
• While the vegetables are cooking, smash the boiled potatoes down by hand. Add the remaining tablespoon oil and the butter to the skillet. When the butter is foaming, add the potatoes in a single layer and sear until very golden brown and crispy, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Stir in the crispy ham, onion mixture and lemon zest. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

• Cook on a medium heat and turn and shake occasionally.
• Turn over in parts (it isn't like an omelette, don't worry if it breaks).
• Keep frying until you have a solid crispy shell around it and a nice creamy center.
• Enjoy with a spicy tomato sauce or ketchup and mayonnaise.
