Ham And Sweet Potato Hash Recipes

HAM AND SWEET POTATO HASH

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine ham, potatoes, onion and green pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together cream, eggs, sage and pepper and add to the ham mixture.
• Preheat broiler. In a medium-sized skillet, melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter over high heat. When almost brown, add the hash, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 4 minutes, gently shaking the pan occasionally to loosen the hash at the bottom.
• To brown the top, invert hash into an overproof dish and place under broiler for 3 to 5 minutes.

SWEET POTATO AND HAM HASH

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute sweet potatoes in butter and oil until crisp-tender. Add the onion, red pepper, green onions and chili pepper. Saute 4-5 minutes longer or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the ham, pepper and salt., With the back of a spoon, make four wells in the potato mixture; add an egg to each well. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes or until egg whites are completely set.

HAM HASH WITH SWEET POTATOES & THYME

Steps:

• Heat 2 Tbs. oil over low heat in a 12-inch non-stick skillet (so potatoes don't stick). While skillet heats, prepare onion and ham as directed above. A few minutes before cooking, increase heat to medium-high. When oil starts to send up wisps of smoke, add onion and ham; cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, dice potatoes and toss with remaining oil. Transfer ham mixture to a bowl and reserve.
• Add potatoes to empty skillet; cook, stirring only occasionally so they form a golden-brown crust, about 10 minutes. As potatoes cook, mix ketchup, mustard, dried thyme, fresh parsley and 2 Tbs. of water. (Recipe can be prepared to this point up to 2 hours ahead. Spread hot potatoes on a large lipped cookie sheet; cover when cool. Return skillet to medium-high; add potatoes and re-crisp.)
• Return reserved ham mixture to skillet; stir in ketchup mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until hash has nicely browned, about 5 minutes longer.
