Place butter in bottom of electric skillet and melt. Place ham in electric skillet, close lid and cook on 300 degrees for 15 minutes per pound.
About 2 hours before done place potatoes around ham and put on lid and cook remainder of time. Turn potatoes over once or twice while cooking with a spatula or large spoon.
Notes
If cooking ham less than 2 hours (smaller ham) go ahead and add potatoes when starting the ham.
