Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients:
Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Dice the cooked ham. Finely chop the onion.

In the crockpot, layer half of the potatoes, followed by half of the diced ham, and half of the chopped onion. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, ham, and onion.
