Steps:
- Position two racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup and a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
- Cut the ham into small matchsticks similar in size to the hash browns. Set aside and reserve 1/3 cup of the ham. Mix the remaining ham, hash browns, 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper in a large bowl. Divide the mixture evenly among the sprayed cups, using about 1 rounded tablespoon each. Press the mixture in a thin layer across the bottom and up the sides of each cup to make a nest, leaving the edges uneven and jagged.
- Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until the nests are dark brown around the tips and golden and crisp on the outside, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese, lemon zest, milk 1/2 teaspoon salt, and some pepper together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed. Scrape the mixture into a resealable plastic bag, cut off the tip and set aside.
- When the nests are ready, remove them from the oven and let sit until they are cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Carefully lift the nests out of the tins using a small offset spatula or butter knife and transfer to a cookie sheet. Pipe the filling evenly among the nests. This may be done ahead; the nests can be set aside at room temperature until ready to serve, up to two hours.
- When ready to serve, heat the filled nests until the cream cheese is warm and the potatoes are crisp, about 7 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen peas and cook until they are warm but not shriveled, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the peas in a colander, shaking to remove excess water.
- Transfer the nests to a serving platter. Top each with 1/4 teaspoon of the reserved ham, 3 peas and about 1/4 teaspoon chopped chives. Sprinkle with paprika and serve immediately.

EASY NEW PEAS AND POTATOES
This is in response to a recipe request. This is a pretty basic recipe for New Peas and Potatoes. My great grandma had the best recipes, and this was one of them. We usually have this whenever we have a ham dinner. It is funny how you can have a recipe but it doesnt even come close to grandmas! LOL This is still a very good and cheap recipe. I love a lot more "gravy" with my potatoes and peas.

NEW POTATOES AND PEAS WITH HAM RECIPE
Provided by oldbklady
Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Scrub and cook potatoes in salted water until partially tender. Add onions and peas. Cook until vegetables are tender. Drain and reserve liquid. Make a white sauce: melt butter, add flour and cook 1 minute. Add reserved vegetable liquid or milk. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until thickened. Pour sauce over vegetables and add ham and cheese. Heat through and serve.
Tips:
- Select fresh, tender potatoes: Look for small, firm potatoes with smooth, thin skins. Avoid any potatoes that are blemished, sprouting, or have green spots.
- Boil the potatoes until just tender: Overcooking will make them mushy. Test the potatoes by piercing them with a fork; they should be easily pierced, but still slightly firm.
- Use day-old ham for the best flavor: Freshly cooked ham can be tough and chewy. Letting it rest for a day or two allows the flavors to meld and the meat to relax.
- Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a homemade stock or a good quality store-bought stock.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the ham and vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam than sear.
- Season to taste: Always taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to your liking.
Conclusion:
New potatoes and peas with ham is a classic dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make, flavorful, and can be tailored to your own preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even more delicious. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
