Ham, Ham and More Ham!

Southerners grieve with food. More specifically, southerners send ham. My Dad recently lost his mother (my grandmother) and he received no less than four hams. A person can only eat so many ham sandwiches, so what do you do with the rest?


One quick and easy option is to make hash. A little less typical than corned beef hash, this ham and potato concoction highlights a great blend of flavors. Last night, I made four generous servings.


Ham and Potato Hash


3 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 bell pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
1 c. ham, diced
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
3 sprigs fresh thyme




Boil potatoes until soft. Drain.










Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add remaining ingredients.












Saute until peppers soften and onions turn translucent. Serve with toast or biscuits.
