Provided by Damaris Phillips

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds small new potatoes (as close to the same size as possible)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 ounces thinly sliced country ham, diced (see Cook's Note)
1 medium onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 teaspoon lemon or orange zest

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add cold water to cover by 1 inch. Salt the water generously and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, 7 to 10 minutes, depending on size. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the ham and saute, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 4 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Add the onions and red peppers to the skillet and saute, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to another bowl.
  • While the vegetables are cooking, smash the boiled potatoes down by hand. Add the remaining tablespoon oil and the butter to the skillet. When the butter is foaming, add the potatoes in a single layer and sear until very golden brown and crispy, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Stir in the crispy ham, onion mixture and lemon zest. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Waxy potatoes, like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, like Russet potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm. You don't want them to be mushy.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before adding the other ingredients. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a good quality country ham. The better the ham, the better the salad will be.
  • Dice the ham into small pieces. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the salad.
  • Add your favorite vegetables and herbs to the salad. Some good options include celery, onion, green pepper, hard-boiled eggs, and parsley.
  • Dress the salad with a simple vinaigrette. A mixture of olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper is all you need.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

Country ham and potato salad is a classic Southern dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its salty, smoky flavor and creamy texture, country ham and potato salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. `
