Prepare the Ingredients:
Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Dice the cooked ham. Finely chop the onion.
Layer the Ingredients:
In the crockpot, layer half of the potatoes, followed by half of the diced ham, and half of the chopped onion. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, ham, and onion.

Cover the crockpot and cook on Low for 6-7 hours or on High for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
