Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ham steak, diced
- 2 medium Russet potatoes, diced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dice the potatoes into small, evenly sized cubes (about 1/2 inch).
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, stir to coat in oil, and let cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
Meanwhile, dice the ham, red bell pepper, and yellow onion. Mince the garlic.
Once the potatoes are golden, push them to one side of the skillet or move them to a separate plate and add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Add the diced ham, bell pepper, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the ham starts to brown lightly.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt over the entire skillet mixture. Stir well to combine and return the potatoes to the center of the skillet if they were set aside.
Using a spoon, create 4 small wells in the hash mixture.
Crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired level (runny yolks or fully set).
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately as a complete meal. Enjoy your Hamners Hammer with a side of toast or fresh fruit, if you like.
