Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut the potato slices into rounds.

In a bowl, toss the potatoes with the olive oil and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Season lightly with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with the cheese.

Bake the potato rounds for about 45 minutes, or until deep golden; let cool.

In a small bowl, combine the ham with the mayonnaise, scallion, Cornichons, capers, tarragon and mustard.

Season with salt and pepper.

Spoon the ham salad onto the potato coins and serve.
