Ingredients

• 3 medium Russet potatoes
• 1.5 cups Cooked ham
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 2 units Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 units Eggs (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash, peel, and dice the potatoes into small cubes about 1/2 inch in size. Dice the ham, onion, and green bell pepper into similar-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the butter has melted, add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and slightly crisp.

Step 4

Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir the vegetables and potatoes together, then add the diced ham to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham is slightly caramelized and heated through.

Step 6

If using eggs, in a separate non-stick pan, fry or scramble them to your preferred doneness while the hash finishes cooking.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the hash with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Step 8

Serve immediately, optionally topping each portion with a fried or scrambled egg for added richness.
