POTATO ROSTI WITH THYME AND GARLIC

Steps:

• In a 10-inch nonstick pan, heat the clarified butter over medium-high heat.
• Mix together the grated potato, thyme and garlic in a bowl. Add to the pan of hot butter and spread evenly, about the thickness of a pancake. Reduce the heat to medium and allow to cook until crispy and deeply golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Flip the potato cake over and continue to cook on the other side, about another 5 minutes. Drain on a rack, then cut into sixths and serve.

HONEY-THYME BUTTER

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the honey and thyme; beat just until blended. Store in refrigerator.

THYME HONEY GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Melt butter with thyme and let stand until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in lower third.
• Peel off and discard any rind or skin from ham, leaving 1/4 inch of fat on ham. Score fat on top of ham in a crosshatch pattern without cutting into meat. Put ham on a rack in a large roasting pan. Cover ham with parchment paper, then cover roasting pan with foil. Bake 1 3/4 hours.
• Meanwhile, boil vinegar in a small saucepan until reduced to about 1 tablespoon. Remove from heat and whisk in honey, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme butter. Let honey glaze stand until ham has baked 1 3/4 hours.
• Discard foil and parchment from ham. If there is no liquid in roasting pan, add 1 cup water (liquid will prevent glaze from burning in pan). Brush ham with half of honey glaze, then bake, uncovered, 30 minutes.
• Brush with remaining glaze and bake until glaze is deep golden-brown and ham is heated through, about 30 minutes more.
