Peel 500g of white asparagus thoroughly and trim off the woody ends.

In a large pot, bring enough water to a boil, add 2 teaspoons of salt, and simmer the asparagus spears over medium heat for about 15 minutes until tender. Test for tenderness with a fork.

In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and fry 125g diced ham until golden brown. Set aside.

Melt 180g butter in a small saucepan.

In a tall bowl, blend the juice of half a lemon, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, a pinch of salt, a dash of white wine, and 2 egg yolks with an immersion blender. While blending, slowly add the melted butter to create a creamy sauce.

Peel and roughly chop 300g potatoes. Cook them in salted water (2 teaspoons of salt) over medium heat for about 15 minutes until tender.

To serve, arrange the boiled potatoes, cooked asparagus, and roasted ham cubes on a plate and drizzle everything with homemade hollandaise sauce.
