Made these for a dinner party buffet and they disappeared in a matter of seconds. Seems like a strange mixture of ingredients, but they really are delicious and so easy.

Very tasty, sweet potato and the parma ham are a good combination. I liked the mayo but my boyfriend wasn't keen.

Very easy to make, disappeared very quickly. Used streaky bacon mixed in in half and chorizo on the rest.

I changed it as the only parma ham I could fine was extortionate! I used a slice of chorizo on each one and mixed may and red pesto for the topping. My guests couldn't get enough!

I did like these but not all of my guests did unfortunately. I think they would have been best served warm.
