When I lived at home my Dad would cook the evening meal every night. On a Friday he would always buy cold foods from the supermarket and put a meal together. I used to love these meals. Nowadays I like to eat foods I’ve cooked from fresh. Therefore I decided to make a dad style Friday night dinner. It was so delicious that of course I had to share the recipe with you.

Gammon Ham and Potato Salad was a lovely meal. I made the ham the day before so all I had to do was make the potato salad. You could make the ham and keep it in the fridge overnight Or you could freeze it for another occasion. Personally I would make the potato salad from fresh. Then just simple serve and enjoy. However you decide to eat this meal, as always, please enjoy. Thank you. xxx
