Sunday breakfasts are a favorite activity around here. More like a brunch, they are usually somewhat more elaborate and filling that what we eat for breakfast during the week.

Ham and potato hash is a perfect side dish for fried eggs; easy to cook, and a great way to use up leftover ham!

What Ham to Use in This Recipe

This recipe is so versatile. Use chopped leftover ham, a diced ham steak, or a package of pre-diced ham. In a pinch, you can use deli ham, but only if it's thickly sliced.

Ham and Potato Hash

Prep Time 15 mins

Cook Time 30 mins

Total Time 45 mins

Servings 6 servings

3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled
1 cup finely diced cooked ham
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried crumbled thyme

Partially cook the potatoes, then dice:

Cut the potatoes in half and cook in a saucepan of simmering water until not quite done and still firm, about 10 minutes. Rinse in cold water to stop cooking. Drain. Dice to 1/2-inch thick pieces. Set aside.
Cook the onion and bell pepper in butter:

Melt butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low to medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the chopped bell pepper and cook another 2 minutes.

Simple Tip!

The hash will brown better in a cast iron pan than in a stick-free pan.
Add the potatoes, ham, salt, pepper, and thyme:

Add the remaining ingredients; mix well. Cook hash until well browned, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
