COUNTRY HAM AND SMASHED-POTATO HOME FRIES
Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add cold water to cover by 1 inch. Salt the water generously and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, 7 to 10 minutes, depending on size. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the ham and saute, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 4 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Add the onions and red peppers to the skillet and saute, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to another bowl.
- While the vegetables are cooking, smash the boiled potatoes down by hand. Add the remaining tablespoon oil and the butter to the skillet. When the butter is foaming, add the potatoes in a single layer and sear until very golden brown and crispy, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Stir in the crispy ham, onion mixture and lemon zest. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato skins because they have a thick skin that can hold up to the baking process. You can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes, but they may not be as crispy.
- Scrub the potatoes well before baking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris that may be on the skin.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking. This will help the potatoes to bake evenly.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender. The potatoes are done baking when a fork can easily be inserted into the center.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before scooping out the flesh. This will make it easier to handle the potatoes.
- Be creative with your toppings. You can top your potato skins with anything you like, such as cheese, bacon, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
Conclusion:
Country ham potato skins are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer. They are perfect for parties or gatherings, and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that everyone will enjoy.
