- Boil potatoes in lightly salted water until soft, about 25 minutes. Drain.
- Fry ham in heavy skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes, flip and cook for a few more minutes, until there's a nice bit of juice in the pan. Add brown sugar to the pan, and turn ham to coat. simmer for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until ham is heated through.

- Heat a 10-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet over low heat. Add the butter; when melted, add the garlic and cook until soft but not browned, 3 to 4 minutes.

- Set a medium pot lid (6 to 8 inches wide) on directly on top of the potatoes. Then place a heavy pot on top of the lid to weight it down. Adjust the heat to medium-low and cook for about 15 minutes on the stovetop, then transfer to the oven and bake until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, another 15 minutes. (You can use a spatula to peek at the bottom to make sure it's golden brown.)

SKILLET PORK CHOPS WITH ONION AND POTATOES
This is a recipe handed down from my grandmother to my mom and now to me. It is simple and hearty and can be changed as your tastes wish - different seasonings in flour, different cheeses, sweet potatoes instead of white, a favorite vinegar instead of lemon juice, etc. Use the number of bouillon cubes based upon how much salt your family prefers. The only limit is your imagination.

Tips:
- Select the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for skillet potatoes, as they hold their shape well and crisp up nicely.
- Cut Potatoes Uniformly: Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces to ensure even cooking. Aim for 1-inch cubes or wedges.
- Soak Potatoes (Optional): Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 15-30 minutes helps remove excess starch and results in crispier potatoes.
- Use a Well-Seasoned Skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron or stainless steel skillet promotes even cooking and prevents the potatoes from sticking.
- Start with a Hot Skillet: Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until it's hot and shimmering before adding the potatoes. This helps create a crispy crust.
- Don't Overcrowd the Skillet: Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Overcrowding can result in steamed potatoes instead of crispy ones.
- Season Generously: Season the potatoes liberally with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings. You can also add herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
- Flip the Potatoes Regularly: Use a spatula to gently flip the potatoes every few minutes to ensure even browning and prevent them from sticking.
- Add Aromatics: Enhance the flavor of your skillet potatoes by adding aromatics like garlic, onion, or bell peppers. Sauté them in the skillet before adding the potatoes.
- Deglaze the Skillet: Once the potatoes are cooked, deglaze the skillet with a splash of water or broth to dissolve any browned bits and create a flavorful sauce.
