1

Cut the red potatoes into about a quarter inch thick slices.

2

Boil water in the smallest pan possible to speed up the boiling process.

3

Once the water is boiling, add the potato slices carefully.

4

Cover the pot to help the water boil faster.

5

Check the potatoes after about 10 minutes to ensure they don't get too mushy.

6

Cut the sweet onion in half and then into slivers, leaving it chunky for presence in the dish.

7

Dice the jalapeno, taking care not to touch your eyes afterward.

8

Cube the ham steak into about quarter inch squares.

9

Check the potatoes for doneness by dabbing with a fork; they should have some firmness.
