Simple yet satisfying hash of smoked ham and potatoes

Diced smoked ham with potatoes

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
One of the simplest peasant dishes where quality is key. No unnecessary seasoning to overpower flavours: salty-smoky character of smoked ham and neutral, earthy taste of potatoes complement each other. Often made as a leftover saver after Easter, but stands alone as a meal.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Saucepan: For boiling potatoes.
  • Frying pan: For frying together.

Instructions

1 ✓

Peel potatoes, dice them. Boil in salted water with bay leaf until 'al dente' (approx 10-12 mins). Drain.

Tip: Don't boil fully soft, as they will get heat in pan and break.
2 ✓

Finely chop onion. Heat fat in pan, sweat onion until translucent.

Tip: Onion provides 'juicy' base for dish.
3 ✓

Throw in diced ham, fry until fat renders slightly and edges brown.

Tip: Heat concentrates flavour compounds.
4 ✓

Add crushed garlic and pepper (careful, garlic burns fast!), toss, then tip in drained potatoes.

Tip: Potato starch absorbs spicy ham fat.
5 ✓

Fry together on high heat a few minutes, stirring gently. Sprinkle with fresh parsley at end.

Tip: Don't cook parsley, add only at serving to preserve vitamins and colour.

Recipe FAQ

Potatoes fell apart. Why?
Probably chose 'floury' type potato, or overcooked. For this dish 'waxy' (Type A or B) is best, keeping cube shape.
Too salty. What to do?
Add some sour cream on the plate. Dairy fat 'dulls' salty sensation.
