Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 pound ham cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 pound potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
½ pound sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 2 Tbs. oil over low heat in a 12-inch non-stick skillet (so potatoes don't stick). While skillet heats, prepare onion and ham as directed above. A few minutes before cooking, increase heat to medium-high. When oil starts to send up wisps of smoke, add onion and ham; cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, dice potatoes and toss with remaining oil. Transfer ham mixture to a bowl and reserve.
  • Add potatoes to empty skillet; cook, stirring only occasionally so they form a golden-brown crust, about 10 minutes. As potatoes cook, mix ketchup, mustard, dried thyme, fresh parsley and 2 Tbs. of water. (Recipe can be prepared to this point up to 2 hours ahead. Spread hot potatoes on a large lipped cookie sheet; cover when cool. Return skillet to medium-high; add potatoes and re-crisp.)
  • Return reserved ham mixture to skillet; stir in ketchup mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until hash has nicely browned, about 5 minutes longer.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet potatoes, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The ham and thyme balanced out the sweetness perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again! ?

This ham hash is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a very budget-friendly meal. I like to serve it with a side of eggs and toast. ??

This ham hash is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a very easy recipe to make. I like to add a little bit of diced bell pepper and onion for extra flavor. ?

I was disappointed with this recipe. The sweet potatoes were undercooked and the ham was tough. I ended up throwing most of it away. ?

This ham hash was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. Other than that, it was a good recipe. ?

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more thyme. Otherwise, it was perfect. ?
