HAM AND EGG POTATO SALAD WITH CHARRED SCALLIONS



Ham and Egg Potato Salad with Charred Scallions image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon neutral oil, plus 2 teaspoons for drizzling
One 8-ounce/226-gram ham steak, diced
1 bunch scallions (80 grams; about 6), cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
2 1/2 pounds (1132 grams) Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into about 1-inch chunks
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/3 cup (50 grams) coarsely chopped cornichons, plus 3 tablespoons brine
1 cup (208 grams) mayonnaise
1/4 cup (60 grams) plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons (30 grams) whole-grain mustard
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Freshly ground black pepper
3 hard-boiled eggs, coarsely chopped
2 ribs (80 grams) celery, chopped
1/4 cup (7 grams) chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons (3 grams) chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the ham and scallions. Cook until the scallions are charred and the ham is lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
  • Put the potatoes in a large pot with heavily-salted cold water to cover by about an inch (add as much salt as you would to pasta water). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and return the potatoes to the still-hot pot, tossing them to cook out any residual moisture. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the brine and 1 teaspoon salt to season the potatoes while still hot so they absorb the flavor. Toss very well. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, mustard, sugar, garlic powder, remaining 2 tablespoons brine, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper until smooth. Fold in the potatoes, cooled scallions and ham, eggs, cornichon, celery, parsley and dill. Toss to completely coat the potatoes with the dressing. Sprinkle with additional parsley and dill to garnish. Serve at room temperature or cover and chill until cold, at least 2 hours. This can be made a day ahead. Taste before serving, as you may need to add more salt once it's chilled.

Provided by Dog Lovin' Mama

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Ham     Brown Sugar

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 ham steaks
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 (15 ounce) can sweet potatoes, drained
1 cup miniature marshmallows

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Tear off two large sheets of aluminum foil. Place one ham slice onto each piece of foil, and sprinkle brown sugar on both sides. Spread a little bit of the crushed pineapple over the ham, then top with sweet potatoes. Sprinkle a little bit more brown sugar and pineapple over the sweet potatoes. Close the aluminum foil tightly around the ham, and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven, and carefully open the packets. Sprinkle miniature marshmallows over the top, and return to the oven with the foil open. Bake for another 10 minutes. If you want the marshmallows really toasty, you could brown them under the broiler for a couple of minutes. You will end up with a sweet, juicy ham dish and very few dishes to wash.
