Instructions
- Steam your whole, unpeeled potatoes for 15 minutes. Once steamed, submerge potatoes in cold ice water.
- Once the potatoes are cooled, peel and grate them coarsely. We are wanting to have about 12 oz. of shredded potatoes.
- Using a kitchen mallet, mash the ham until the meat is nicely shredded.
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- In a bowl whisk your eggs and fold in all of your ingredients except the cheese.
- Line a 12"x9" baking dish with baking paper and pour in the mixture. Making sure that all the corners have an even amount of mixture.
- Place the mixture into the oven and bake on the center rack for 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the omelet sit in the oven for a further 10 minutes.
- Take the omelet out of the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
- When the omelet is fully cooled carefully peel away the baking paper and place on a cutting board.
- Cut the omelet into ½ inch cubes by cutting ½ inch columns and ½ inch rows.
- Evenly place your omelet bites onto a mesh dehydrator tray making sure you leave a little space in between the cubes for even airflow.
- On a lined tray place your cubed cheese and transfer into the dehydrator
- Dehydrate both the cheese and the omelet bites at 145°F for 6-8 hours. Check the cheese every few hours and pat with a paper towel to dry up any excess oil that is released during the drying process.
- When dry the bites and cheese will be nice and crunchy. Check a couple of the omelet bites by cutting them in half to make sure the inside is fully dry.
- Take the cheese and using a coffee grinder or blender, grind the cheese into a fine powder.
- Let cool completely then store the cheese and the omelet bites in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers.
