Ingredients

• 4 medium, peeled and diced russet potatoes
• 1.5 cups, diced cooked ham
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 1 large, diced (any color) bell pepper
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.25 teaspoons (adjust to taste) black pepper
• 2 stalks, thinly sliced for garnish scallions

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to fully melt and combine with the oil.

Step 2

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and begin to crisp up.

Step 3

Push the potatoes to the side of the skillet and add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper to the center. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced ham to the skillet and combine everything evenly. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat the ham through and develop some browning on the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle the paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the skillet mixture. Toss to coat evenly and adjust seasoning to taste, if needed.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced scallions before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot as a standalone dish or alongside eggs or a green salad for a complete meal.
