Ham, Sage & Potato Gratin

This Ham Sage & Potato Gratin is comfort food at its best. A lovely way to use up any leftover ham or ham hock meat. A perennial favourite in our family. I like to think of it as an English version of a French Tartiflette – creamy potatoes with ham and lots of Comté cheese – what’s not to like!
