Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the potatoes and green beans, make sure there is enough space in the pan for them to cook evenly.
  • Season your food well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
  • Don't overcook the meat. Ham is a delicate protein, so it's important to cook it just until it's done. Overcooked ham will be tough and dry.
  • Serve your dish hot. This is the best way to enjoy the flavors of the ham, potatoes, and green beans.
