COUNTRY HAM HASH RECIPE



Country Ham Hash Recipe image

Once you start cooking this Country Ham Hash, the inviting aromas will have your sleepy overnight guests hurrying down the stairs and into the kitchen. You can get a head start on this breakfast side dish by chopping all of the vegetables a day in advance. Store the potato cubes in water to prevent browning, and pat them dry with paper towels before adding them to the skillet so they will cook up nice and crisp. If you're prepping everything day of, peel the russet potatoes and pat them with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture while the ham sizzles in the skillet. Transfer the ham to a separate plate, then add the potatoes, onion, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until the potatoes are tender, adding in garlic, pepper, and salt. While the mixture cooks go ahead and chop the cooked ham, stirring it into the potatoes once they are tender. Country Ham Hash is delicious for a holiday brunch, but it also makes a satisfying and quick meal for the family during the week. Add a tossed green salad to round out the meal.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
4 tablespoons butter, divided
8 small red potatoes
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 large ham steak, finely chopped
4 extra-large eggs
2 cups baby spinach leaves, chopped or, 1 box, 10 ounces, defrosted frozen chopped spinach, wrung dry in a kitchen towel
10 leaves fresh basil, chopped or torn, a few rounded spoonfuls of prepared store bought pesto may be substituted
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, a couple of generous handfuls

Steps:

  • Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of extra-virgin olive oil, about 2 tablespoons, and 2 tablespoons of butter. While the pan is getting hot and the butter is melting, cut the potatoes in half and then thinly slice them, add to the hot skillet and season with salt, pepper, thyme and the crushed red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring every now and then, for about 10 minutes or, until potatoes have browned and are tender. Add the onion and the ham and continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes
  • Preheat another skillet over medium high heat with 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted and the bubbles have subsided, crack extra-large eggs into the pan, season with salt and pepper and fry to desired doneness.
  • While the eggs are frying, finish off the hash by adding the roughly chopped spinach and basil to the potatoes. (Defrosted frozen spinach and some pesto would be added in at the same point if using substitutions.) Toss to wilt and warm the spinach. Sprinkle the hash with tomatoes and cheese and remove from the heat. Transfer the ham and spinach hash to plates. Top each portion with a single fried egg or arrange the fried eggs evenly over the platter.

This is an easy dish to make that is great served at any time of day. I sometimes crumble some crispy bacon in there for even more flavour variety! It has a nice zing to it due to the spices but is not overpowering.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 4 people, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 onion, diced
1/2 cup ham, shredded
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling.
  • Add cubed potatoes and the last six ingredients to pan.
  • Fry potatoes until golden brown and fork tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Then add the butter and diced onion. Mix.
  • When the onion has softened slightly, add the ham to the pan and mix again to combine.
  • Once heated through sprinkle the cheese over hash.
  • Serve when cheese has melted.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy potatoes, ensure they are cut into small, uniform cubes. This promotes even cooking and prevents sogginess.
  • If you prefer softer potatoes, consider parboiling them before adding them to the skillet. Parboiling helps remove excess starch, resulting in a tender texture.
  • Use a combination of butter and oil when cooking the potatoes. Butter adds rich flavor, while oil prevents burning. Additionally, do not overcrowd the skillet; give the potatoes enough space to brown properly.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, try using diced ham instead of pre-cooked ham slices. This technique infuses the potatoes with savory ham flavor throughout.
  • Experiment with different seasonings and herbs to create unique variations of hammy hash. Some popular additions include chopped onions, bell peppers, jalapeños, and garlic.
  • Serve hammy hash with your preferred accompaniments, such as fried or scrambled eggs, toast, or a side salad.

Conclusion:

Hammy hash is a versatile and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dinner. With its combination of savory ham, crispy potatoes, and flavorful seasonings, it is sure to become a family favorite. Whether you follow the classic recipe or experiment with different ingredients, hammy hash is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion.
