(I like to cook it a bit longer, about 1 hour and 15 minutes before uncovering it.)
9

Test to make sure potatoes are almost, but not quite, fork tender.
10

Uncover and bake 30 minutes longer.

Left over cooked ham layered in the middle makes it almost a one dish meal, and is a good addition...tho I usually serve this with ham to begin with.
