Wash, peel (if desired), and dice the potatoes into small, evenly-sized cubes to ensure even cooking.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to become golden and crispy.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and stir in the chopped onion and diced bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft.
Push the potatoes and vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the diced ham to the empty side and cook for 3 minutes until lightly browned.
Stir the contents of the skillet together and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Season the mixture with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat all ingredients with the spices.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fully cooked and the flavors are well combined.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired, for a fresh garnish.
Serve hot straight from the skillet and enjoy your delicious Ham Skillet!
