Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups Cooked ham
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 2 units Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 units Eggs (optional)
Instructions
Wash, peel, and dice the potatoes into small cubes about 1/2 inch in size. Dice the ham, onion, and green bell pepper into similar-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and slightly crisp.
Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir the vegetables and potatoes together, then add the diced ham to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham is slightly caramelized and heated through.
If using eggs, in a separate non-stick pan, fry or scramble them to your preferred doneness while the hash finishes cooking.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the hash with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately, optionally topping each portion with a fried or scrambled egg for added richness.
