Instructions
Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water and cook until they're a bit tender but still a bit hard in the middle (read notes).
Remove potatoes from the water and once cooled peel them and cut them into thick slices.
Meanwhile, add bacon to a pan and cook over medium heat until bacon becomes slightly crispy.
Transfer bacon to a paper-lined plate and set aside until needed.
Add eggs, Mexican crema, milk, and mustard into a bowl and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble & bake:
Preheat your oven to 355°F/180°C
Butter a baking dish and spread some cream mixture in the bottom.
Place a layer of potato slices and pour some of the cream mixture to cover them.
Top with ham, bacon, and shredded cheese.
Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Uncover and keep baking for 10-15 more minutes or until the top is golden.
Remove from oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Medium potatoes will need from 20 to 30 minutes to be fully cooked, while large potatoes will require a little more.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Reheat it in the microwave or oven at 150°C for 10 minutes.
