Method:

1. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into slices about 2-3mm thick. Boil for 5-6 minutes in slightly salted water. Keep checking to ensure that the potato slices do not crack. Drain and place the sweet potatoes on a flat surface to cool.

About Parma Ham:

Parma Ham is a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) product and is 100% natural. The drying process that Parma Ham goes through creates a ham that is very low in fat content, with many mineral salts, vitamins, antioxidants and easily digestible proteins. This means that Parma Ham is truly a food for everyone.

Prosciutto di Parma is produced in the hills surrounding the Italian town of Parma.

The unique taste of Parma Ham is dependent on the traditional production process passed down from Roman times, carefully controlled by the Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma. Only hams that have passed stringent curing regulations approved by the EU can be awarded the stamp of the Ducal crown – a five-pointed coronet logo with PARMA in the centre which is branded onto the ham's skin. The Ducal Crown is now a certification trademark.

For more information, please visit Prosciutto Di Parma.
