Combine potatoes and ham in the crockpot. Pour enough milk into the crockpot to almost cover potatoes; stir or smash with a heavy spoon or masher to combine; cover; cook on LOW 4 hours or HIGH 2 hours. Stir; lightly smash any large chunks of potato. Season generously with salt and pepper; taste; adjust seasonings as needed. Cover; cook 1-3 on LOW. Add more milk to thin the soup to desired thickness.
Serve with crusty bread and a side salad.
8 servings.
Tip: Generous seasoning is important in simple recipes like this one. How much salt you need is dependent on how salty the ham is and how salty the potatoes are. Start with about 1 t. salt, continue stirring, salting and tasting the soup until it tastes perfect. About 2 t. of salt may be about right.
