Sweet Potato And Ham Hash Recipes

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.

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.

SAVORY SWEET POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Place sweet potato in a microwave-safe bowl; add water and salt. Microwave until partially softened, 2 to 3 minutes; drain.
• Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion in the hot oil until slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir sweet potato, ham, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt into onion; cover skillet with a lid. Cook sweet potato mixture, stirring occasionally, until sweet potatoes are cooked through, about 10 minutes; sprinkle with brown sugar. Cook and stir until brown sugar is dissolved, 1 to 2 more minutes.
