Day Six - Ham and Sweet Potato Hash

Hey Everyone!  I apologize that this didn't get posted yesterday.  Our internet was down so I couldn't set it up to post and then our house guests arrived early!  It was a crazy day to say the least.

Today's recipe is one of my favorite brunch recipes.  With ham you definitely have to check what is in it and where it's coming from.  Ham is probably not the cleanest meat but I like it before a day of hiking or kayaking to get a little extra salt.  I hope you all enjoy!

Sweet Potato and Ham Hash

Ingredients

-ham steak
-2 medium sweet potatoes
-2 Tbsp. oil (ghee, coconut, olive, or butter)

Directions

1.  Peel the potatoes and dice into ~1/2 inch cubes.
2.  Heat oil in large frying pan and add potatoes to pan.
3.  Do not stir the potatoes for the first 5 minutes!  During this time dice up the ham steak.
4.  Give potatoes a good stir (one side should be browning) and let sit again for 4 minutes.
5.  Stir potatoes and check to see if they are done (they should be soft with a crispy outside).
6.  When potatoes are done push to the side and add the ham to the other side of the pan.
7.  Fry ham for 2-3 minutes then mix potato and ham mixture together.

Note:  If you use olive oil watch the potatoes like a hawk because they will be more likely to burn!



Sorry again that this did not get posted.  I will post Friday's a little later in the day but then I should be back on track.  Hope everyone is doing well with their eating!!

  1. This is fast and easy to make and very Dad-friendly! I added marjoram (as any good Polish cook would do!) So not only do you have a sweet/salt combination but the marjoram gives it a savory twist as well. I had leftovers for breakfast too! BTW, it pairs well with a dry "Paleo" Finger Lakes Traminette. Hmmmmm..........
