HAM AND POTATO HASH


This is our first week of going to school 5 days per week. I am trying hard to get used to it but I have found myself more unorganized and running late for everything. The last couple nights I have been so behind I find myself making cold lunches at 11:30pm. I checked the hot lunch menu in hopes of something healthy but to no avail; a "jumbo corndog" will not do. So I whipped up some whole wheat pancakes with berries knowing that she would be super excited to have this in her lunch. She is just like me, loves breakfast for any meal of the day. This evening we had scrambled eggs and this ham and potato hash. I love it; super easy and delicious!

Ham and Potato Hash

3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
7 small red new potatoes, cleaned
1 cup finely diced cooked ham
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Pierce the potatoes with a fork and microwave for 1 minute. Carefully set potatoes on cutting board and dice to 1/2-inch thick pieces. Set aside.

Melt butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium low to medium heat. Add onion, cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add diced potatoes and ham. Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Cook for 5 minutes undisturbed then flip for another 5 minutes or until well browned.

Perfect with scrambled eggs...


Isn't this beautiful...the fog rolling in just after the hail. This is at my sister's house, absolutely serene.
