Ham'ttata

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -Using a fork, prick the potatoes all over.

Step 3 -In a microwave-safe bowl, add the potatoes and microwave them, carefully turning them once halfway through, until they are almost tender, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 4 -Allow the potatoes to cool.

Step 5 -In a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter.

Step 6 -Add the onions to the melted butter and cook, while stirring occasionally, until they are a deep golden-brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes.

Step 7 -Peel and cube the cooled microwaved potatoes.

Step 8 -In a large bowl, add the eggs, the half-and-half, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the black pepper and whisk to combine.

Step 9 -Add the remaining butter to the caramelized onions and increase the heat to medium-high.

Step 10 -Add the potatoes and the ham to the caramelized onions and cook, while tossing occasionally, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 11 -Reduce the heat to medium.

Step 12 -Add the egg mixture to the caramelized onion mixture and cook until it is just set around the edges, about 2 minutes.

Step 13 -Sprinkle the top of the egg mixture evenly with the cheese and 1/2 of the chives.

Step 14 -Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the top is a light golden and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15-17 minutes.

Step 15 -Allow the ham'ttata to cool in the skillet for 5 minutes.

Step 16 -In a small bowl, add the sour cream, the remaining chives, the extra salt, and the black pepper and stir to combine.

Step 17 -Serve the ham'ttata with the chive-sour cream.
