Fried Country Ham

Directions

1. 1
   Trim fat from ham slices, leaving 1/4 inch fat remaining. Score fat at 1-inch intervals to prevent curling.

3. 3
   Place second slice on top of first, with fat side of ham near opposite edge of pan.
4. 4
   Stack remaining ham slices overlapping each slice so fat side is near edge of pan.
5. 5
   Cover skillet, and cook over low heat 15 minutes. Remove ham slices from skillet. Turn over each slice, and return slices to skillet, repeating stacking procedure.
6. 6
   Cover and continue cooking an additional 10 minutes.
