Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Scoop tablespoons of batter for each pancake, flattening with a spatula, and cook until the underside is nicely golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side about 2 minutes longer.
Queso Sauce: Heat canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and jalapeno and cook until softened, approximately 5 minutes.
Add the roasted poblano pepper, milk and cheese. Reduce heat to low and stir until completely melted and smooth.
Add diced tomato and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
To Serve: Sear ham steaks in a heavy-bottomed sauté pan until browned.
Place the potato cakes on a plate, followed by ham steak, fried egg and queso sauce.
