I grind the ham in an old fashioned cast metal meat grinder. I follow the ham with a couple of hard boiled eggs. To the ham egg mixture I add some sweet pickle relish and enough Miracle Whip to hold the mixture together.

Cube the ham, and throw it in a contaner with potatoes(boiled) and mayo then mix in a packet of hidden valley ranch powder mix.U can also add chives to it.

If u want it to be more creamy, mix the mayo with a little sour cream!
