Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium, peeled and diced russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups, diced cooked ham
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 1 large, diced (any color) bell pepper
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (adjust to taste) black pepper
- 2 stalks, thinly sliced for garnish scallions
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to fully melt and combine with the oil.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and begin to crisp up.
Push the potatoes to the side of the skillet and add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper to the center. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced ham to the skillet and combine everything evenly. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat the ham through and develop some browning on the edges.
Sprinkle the paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the skillet mixture. Toss to coat evenly and adjust seasoning to taste, if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced scallions before serving.
Serve hot as a standalone dish or alongside eggs or a green salad for a complete meal.
