Low calorie oil spray
½ medium white onion, finely chopped
3 slices ham diced
1/3 cup low-fat Greek-style yogurt
1 tsp dijon mustard
2 ounces grated Emmental Cheese (or substitute Gruyere)
pinch salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1. Fill a large pot halfway with
water and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and boil them for 10 minutes. Remove
potatoes from pot and cool them in the fridge or cold water for at least two
hours or as long as overnight. Once cooled grate them into a large bowl using
the large holes in a cheese grater.
2. Melt oil in a medium skillet over
medium-low heat. Add onions and cook for 5 minutes, until translucent. Add ham
and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Scrape the mixture into the bowl with the
potatoes.
3. Preheat oven to Fan 160 / Gas 5.
Add yogurt, mustard, cheese, salt and pepper to the bowl with the potatoes, ham
and onions. Toss gently to combine.
4. Spread potato mixture evenly into
a baking dish (about 13 x 9–inch) coated with cooking spray or lightly oiled.
Bake for 30 minutes. Turn the heat up to broil and cook for 4-5 minutes longer,
checking every minute, until the top is lightly browned. Alternatively make
into patties and place on greased baking tray for 25-30 minutes
