Time required: approx. 45 minutes

800 g of mealy potatoes
3 tbsp olive oil
Salt with iodine
Black pepper
30 g butter
2 tbsp flour
250 ml meat stock
200 g sweet cream

Wash the potatoes and cut in half lengthways. Brush the cut surfaces with oil. Brush the remaining oil onto a baking try and place the potatoes on the baking tray with the cut surfaces facing upwards. Sprinkle salt and pepper thinly and evenly over the potatoes. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 C for around 35 minutes. Heat the butter in a saucepan, sprinkle in the flour and allow to brown lightly. Add the stock and the cream, leave to simmer for around 10 minutes. Spice the sauce with the mustard, horseradish and a little salt and pepper. Cut the ham into narrow stripes and arrange on 4 plates together with the baked potatoes and the mustard béchamel sauce. Serve sprinkled with the chopped chives.
