Grilled Ham Cheese & Potatoes

I love casseroles made with fresh potatoes and cheese. However, who wants to fire up the oven in the middle of the summer? I decided to make one on the barbecue.

I had some trimmings from a smoked picnic shoulder. You could use any kind of ham you like. I cut it to about a 1/4 inch cube.

I cut some new potatoes from our garden to about a 1/2 inch dice. I added the olive oil and herbs and tossed to mix.

I put the potatoes in a foil pie plate. I sprinkled the ham over the potatoes and the green onions over the ham. I covered it all in foil and put it on the top rack of my barbecue which had been preheated to 400 F (medium high).

I let it cook with the lid closed on the barbecue for 30 minutes. I lifted the foil to confirm the potatoes were cooked. I took the foil off and spread the cheese over the top. I closed the barbecue and let it cook for 10 minutes, until the cheese was melted.

We served it with 3 different salads prepared by She Who Must Be Obeyed that featured fresh produce from our garden.

The Verdict

This was terrific. The creamy potatoes, salty ham and gooey cheese are just what I wanted. This is the perfect summer casserole.
